A1200 screen interference

[Fizzy]

Hi,

Dug out my spare 1200, and found that when using it, I get a little interference/noise on the screen when the disk drive is used, or when it clicks.  Also does it to a certain extent with the HDD.

I remember reading somewhere a while ago that this was a known issue and could be fixed be either removing or adding a cap somewhere on the board.  (its a revision 1.D if I recall correctly) I've hunted through aminet, spent a while trying to word internet searches to come up with something usefull, but can't seem to find anything.

Anybody happen to know where this info may be found?  

Thanks,

- Ian.

Thanks for the info guys.

Jeckel - when you say condensator, due you mean the same capacitor fix that Doobrey mentions?

I do have a reasonable amount of soldering skills.  I also have a spare non-working a1200 board.  Unfortunately none of the capacitors are marked with values.  Can anybody suggest a suitable c number to salvage off a 1A board?

Also the fix details off aminet do not give details of the orientation of the capacitor if you don't use a surface mount one.... or are they polarised too?

Yup - does it on rgb out too.  In fact this is when I noticed it - hardly ever use the tuner..
