Could my 4000 just be "locked"?
« on: March 29, 2004, 08:24:27 AM »
My Amiga is seemingly dead...  Has been for quite some time.  The thing is, I was re-arranging all my 'old' computer stuff the other day and I noticed that the solder joint for one of the wires to the keyboard lock was broken.  When I took the lock out, the other joint broke off as well.  Now, before I go through all the trouble of reassembling the 4000 (It's all to pieces ATM), I want to make sure it's worth the attempt.

How does an Amiga 4000 behave when the keyboard lock is, well, locked?  Secondly, can I fool the 4000 into 'thinking' the lock is open by simply shorting the header on the motherboard?

Thanks.  I figured that that would be the case.  I was hoping against hope that something this simple could be the cause of my unresposive Amiga.  Oh, well...  That's what I get for my optimism. :roll:
