I posted on here a while ago that both the internal and external drives on my A1200 had stopped working. They won't format and find errors on disks that aren't there. Yesterday Amiga.org member X-Ray kindly came round and had a look at it.
He swapped my internal disk drive with the one in his A500. My drive worked fine on his machine. With his drive in my machine the same problem occured. We then tried changing the floppy connector wires around, again no change. We then removed my '030 accelerator, still nothing. Finally we took the heat shield off, removed the hard drive and the keyboard connector. The same thing happened with this bare bones setup. Two things happened at this point: Alice and Paula both got warm almost straight away. After about 5/6 minutes Alice was still at the same temperature whilst Paula had become considerably hotter. Is this normal or does it suggest that there is something wrong with Paula? When this problem first started I tested the audio and it was fine. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
