The last few days, it seems that my BPPC card does not connect too well to the A1200 mainboard.
When I startup the miggy, sometimes I just get a grey screen, with no change in brightness of the power LED (only the CAPS led blinks at each reset). When I push the BPPC a bit tighter to the expansionboard connector, the machine boots normally.
However, when I insert a floppy disk (which causes a little shock/bang/thud inside the case) when booted up to the WB, the screen suddenly greys out again (loss of contact on one of the pins on the accelerator card I guess).
I noticed that the board is not sitting too tight in the trapdoor slot - it can wiggle almost over 1 cm when it's connected to the expansion slot.
Is it normal that an accelerator card is this wobbly or has the expansion board connector in my A1200 worn out (too many times of inserting/removing a turboboard?).
And when an A1200 is built into a tower, does the acc.card get secured somewhere, or does it just "sit" loosely on top of the mainboard?
I've cleaned the contacts, so that shouldn't be the problem in this case.
