Sound Problems (A500+, 1084S)

Try unplugging one of the cables (either left or right) from the Amiga and see if:

A: All the sound goes
B: Remains the same
C: You can hear ALL the sound but only from 1 speaker

After try unplugging the other (left or right) cable and see if A,B or C happens. It is possible that there is a short somewhere, either in the cables or the Amiga.

Could be many things but i'm quite sure its an easy fix.

Check that all the socketed chips are pressed in place. Also check for any short near the the jack sockets on the Amiga. Could also be dry joint or broken solder.

I am afraid the acidity from the battery may still doing damage, even though I had cleaned it. Here is a photo of my A500+ motherboard as is right now!

I will try to pull the motherboard out to see if there are any dry joints.

I doubt the problem has anything to do with the battery and i've got 500 Plus's which suffered worse battery damage and had no problems with the audio.

It sounds to me like you either have a short or a dry joint. Check the jacks with a digital multimeter. Try different cables. I am 99% positive there is nothing serious and you will be able to find and fix the problem easily.

If it keeps giving you hassles feel free to bring it over and i'll take a look at it
