Sorry to read into the situation you are in. Unfortunately the Bvision cards can fail. I take it you had heatsinks on the main chips on the Bvision?

Only other things to think of:
- The Bvision is connecting correctly to the 603e ppc board?
- You have ample 5volt power supplied for BPPC and Bvision to function?
- Have you tried a berg power connector into the floppy power connector on the A1200 mainboard?

Apart from that cannot think of anything else. It is possible that the connection circuit on the BPPC card may have got fried. Had this happen to me with a G-Rex board on a BPPC.

Sorry for the late reply. Me and Amiga have fallen out a bit and apart from one more go trying to see if it worked again a couple of weeks after my post I've been sulking and haven't touched it since.

I do wonder about power. I'm running my original Power Tower (Elbox) PSU and have been thinking about changing it for years. It needs doing anyway, so I'll do that before I do anything else.

Does anyone know of a straight swap (or relatively simple) PSU I can buy?

Thanks again.  :)

Depends if you are using a Mediator? Or is this a motherboard with accelerator and video?

If mediator, then if it’s one of the recent ones, then it should take a ATX power connector.

If no Mediator then you can still use an ATX PSU but you may need a connector for the push power button if it’s an older MK1 power Tower.
