Hi to All,
I am not a technician so, before making "stupid" errors, I would like to have some ideas from experienced people.
I have an Amiga 1200 mobo that does not work.
The screen simply remains black (there is an output since the monitor gets something) and the floppy drive doesn't make any noise.
When I received the mobo one of the two kickstart chips, the 391523-1, was reversed but aligned with the 391524-1.
I was thinking about recapping the mobo but this could take a lot of time without a good final result.
Do you have any suggestion? Could the reversed chip have damaged "something"?
Thank you
Can be useful having as much information about the board as possible. Very useful also to have some high res pics to look and see if any work was done to the board in a past life. Could be something simple. Checking the tracks would help just on continuity no power. My guess is that its fried but who knows. Like I say some pics would be good.
I've had black screens for all kinds of reasons. Means nothing really.. just that it's not working. Shame.... All is not lost though.
By the way... leave it on for a good while. Safely. What is getting warm ?
