I am having a major problem with my Amiga 600.
« on: September 10, 2004, 11:28:55 PM »
I am having a mojor problem with my Amiga 600, below is full detailed symptoms:

A) I own two Amigas, one of them is an Amiga 500 and the other one is an Amiga 600 (I love them both).

B) The Amiga 500 works a hundred percent in my TV, it displays the pictures (full colored) and sounds as clear as silk.

C) The TV is programmed at channel 4, (I am using the Amiga 500 modulator for my Amiga 500 (No freaking DUH)).

D) I turn OFF the Amiga 500 and hook my Amiga 600, I put the RF into my INTERNAL Amiga 600 modulator and turn it ON..NOTHING. ZERO. NILCH. NANA. No pictures and sounds just the random pixels and sssssssssshhhhhh sound you get from a TV when no communication reaches the television.

E) I tried to program to the TV, nothing, zero, nilch..problem presist as usual.

F) I install the Amiga 500 modulator into the Amiga 600 (Video port) picture and sound appears but here is my frustration at this point. The picture is black and white and the reason it is black and white because it is not clear, you know how when you program a station and it needs fine tuning because you get this Ssshhh sound and the picture is not clear and sometimes black and white. That symptom is occuring here, only no matter how hard I program no effect occures, the problem remains the same. When I try to use the internal modulator of my Amiga 600 look at D) for furthe detail.


Q: Why I am angry?
A: Will for one thing I did end up spending 300 dollars Canadian in total to get the Amiga 600 ready with it's 3 GB hard drive. I am angry cause I could have spend that for an Amiga 1200 and now I am broke ><

I also played with the screw in the modulator and nothing worked.

Will it is a PAL Amiga and my TV is PAL too. My TV is 10 years old, JVC, and its 21ch size. But like in my previous post my Amiga 500 works a 100% but my Amiga 600 does not work at all. Any suggestions?

Video is not an option I am afraid.  I used both channel 3-4 for the amiga 600 but I di dnot match the internal modulator of the amiga 600 and 500 in terms of channel. I don't know what could be the problem though.

I think I have strained my finger from the amount of time I have flicked that little switch :(. I think I have a broken amiga 600..if anyone is willing to give away their amiga 600 it would be greatly appreciate it. I would be willing to taking it off your hands.

I don't have an amiga monitor. I am hooking my amiga 600 to a tv.  I use the internal modulator to hook it to the tv and it is not working.  Any suggestions TjLaZer? :)
