Amiga 3000 repair?
« on: May 17, 2009, 07:04:01 PM »
Eww, sounds like the battery. With age, the style of batteries on Amigas leak and will dissolve through traces on the motherboard, potentially causing fatal damage.

Sometimes can be repaired by soldering replacement traces.

Too common sadly.


Isn't that the truth. I clipped all the batteries out of my Amigas, after witnessing the first one starting to go. I still haven't gotten around to doing the replacement coin-type battery thing, so none keep time anymore...
