Yes I am going to have good check tomorrow. I have received many things on this board now on where I should check so will have a look at it tomorrow and let u know how it goes.


Yes a lot of advice in a short period. All in good intent. I agree checking the 1200 out on a known good power supply (the A500 one) and checking all the chips are seated correctly and cables connected correctly is a good first step.

Pins being pushed in is a not an uncommon problem for joystick ports on 1200s and 500s; it's that bloody back lip that stops you from seeing the sockets from above so people just prod and push.
Anyway if the pin is not bent you should simply be able to carefully push it back out again from the inside. using a small screwdriver. Remove the floppy to one side and you will have clear access.
The actual pins have two tiny flaps on the sides that should spring open to hold it once it has been pushed back in place. Unless they have buckled.
If they have buckled you can still take them all the way out and straighten them but you will probably have to unsolder the bas eof the pin.  
If it's going to Amiga kit they can do all this for you.
