Help needed with A4000 cybervision64
« on: April 13, 2006, 03:28:27 PM »
Hi all,

I own an Amiga 4000 with Cybervision64, but I have a problem. The internal flickerfixer/scandoubler has a little flatcable to the Cybervision, it came loose :(

Cybergraphics:



Here you see the flickerfixer...



I painted an arrow where the flatcable should be connected



Only 1 wire was still hanging there...



And should be there...



The cable has come loose



Can *anybody* please tell me which cable should be soldered where so I can go on with repairing the Amiga (as the software is somewhere corrupted too...) on a decent Multiscan monitor in stead of the standard Amiga monitor (with no use of my Cybervision at all).

Thanks in advance!

It came with this A4000 I bought a few years ago, back then the cables were ok, but swapped memory a few times, so the cables became loose...

there was no other cable with it, I also tried a standard RGB > VGA cable, but then it bypasses the scandoubler/flickerfixer and my monitor doesn't like that resolution ;)

I hope you still can so I can fix this and reinstall OS 3.9, because software has become unstable too.

Thanks in advance!

That's a DCE ScanMagic/FlickerMagic internal scan doubler.  What the previous owner did was take off the VGA connector and solder the wires straight into the pass-through on the CV64.

Could you please have a look for me? My Amiga is now collecting dust :(

I don't understand the cable scheme, should I solder the cables as in the scheme? And which pin is 1 on the bottom of my graphics card?

the scheme is not good, there never was 1 cable connected to more than 1 pin...

I'm still hoping for someone to look at his own cable or someone to come with a correct scheme...
