right update here. changed the jp3 and 5 and that has gotten rid of the dots problem. next problem tho, (may relate to the fact that it is now in 12bit flifi mode) i seem to get some sort of blurry or flickering effects when the screen is in motion (sort of like interlace type effect).is this due to the colours palette being downgraded?

Hi

Here are the following jumper combinations i have tried:

JP3 OPEN
JP5 OPEN

JP3 OPEN
JP5 CLOSED

JP3 CLOSED
JP5 CLOSED

JP3 CLOSED
JP5 OPEN

(NOTE: JP4 is always OPENED in these combinations).

From these results, i always seem to get flickering/sparkling red dots when the JP3 is CLOSED (or in 24 bit Flifi mode). But Flifi is ok when JP3 is OPEN (or in 12 bit Flifi mode). Can anyone explain these results?!

EDITED

the MACH chip in my Picasso got replaced by a newer one by JJB himself so now worries in that department. the thing i dont get is JJB examined the board and even tried to himself to develope the trouble i get and he found nothing!!!! he couldnt find anything wrong. i also gave hime (as well as the picasso) my amiga 4000 plus daughter board, my csmk3 and all the rams (both mobo and acc.), and he found nothing wrong with anything!!!
