She lives!!! Once more...
« on: July 07, 2004, 02:21:27 AM »
Like a few of you might have in a previous thread of mine, I picked up an AMIGA 2000 from a friend of mine this week-end.  The thing wasn't working, and instead of throwing it out, I ended up taking it.  When I opened it up, there was some pretty serious battery corrosion, and the CPU socket's pins were green.  When I removed the CPU from it's socket, I saw that some of the sockets were broken from the inside.  So I took an educated guess, and assumed that the 68000's socket was the culprit...

After 2 1/2 hours of desoldering (it was the first time I ever did such a job!) I am proud to say that I have resurrected an Amiga 2000 from the dead...

Now that it's done, a newbie question.  What are my upgrade paths for such a machine?

On the front cover it says "Hard Drive", but alas, there is no  hard drive in the machine, how do I go about plugging in one?

Thanks,
