My Second Non-working A1500

[scuzzb494]

Some times you just have to accept that the thing is busted and short of tracing all the circuits and checking all the chips you probably will never really get to the bottom of it. I had a batch of 2000s once and some displayed this problem and I just swapped out the motherboard and salvaged the good stuff. Better still use the case for a 1200... See below.

On the pages from my site there are some useful jumper settings and circuit diagrams which may be of use. But I have struggled with a grey screen as it generally means no life in the girl really. Think you said you had changed the ROM. Have you checked the underside of the motherboard for cracks.

Anyway a few pics from the website of some of my kit. I had 3 bits of good luck with 1500s. The first I bought I was also given an A3000T as the guy wanted to get rid of it. The second was mint in its original box... just needed to replace the battery. And the third had an Amiga 1200 inside. I call the machine Graham. Lost count how many 1500s I now have, probably around five. But then I have like about a dozen 2000s.

Anyway I have picked up stuff from Yeovil in the past. Just trying to remember what it was. We don't actually live that far away from each other. Anyway... good luck
