Hi everyone! Finally found some time (and space!) to play around with my Amiga again, but Ive run into a very strange problem. First, a bit of a background story.
A few years ago I returned to the Amiga 'scene' by buying a load of new hard- and software. Most important: a new BlizzardPPC board. I've had lots of fun (well, most of the time anyway) setting this machine up, and had it running in perfect triple-boot harmony.
Then, last summer, I started having corrupt graphics in CGX output. Often it started in the menu's, where garbled lines started appearing, but the more windows I opened, the more corrupt the graphics became. After reinstalling OS3.9 and installing a new PSU, I concluded it must have been the BlizzardVision board that had given up, so I went out (to amibay) and bought 2 new ones (cant have enough of them, I now have 4 in total). Worked first time, so once again I was a happy guy.
Until today. Since the beginning of this year I havent touched my Amiga. Now that I moved to a new home, I finally got round to unpacking and reinstalling the (carefully packed) BPPC and Bvision. Well, first time it seemed to work fine, good graphics, nice sound, perfect. So I turned the power off and did some cleaning up, small mods to the casing etc. When I turned it back on again, I had the exact same graphic problems as last year, and also there was no sound output at all. Shocked, I first suspected I mistakenly swapped Bvision or cabling around, so I tried every possible combination of those items, but that didnt solve anything.
Frustrated, and without swapping any cables or hardware, I screwed the machine back together and turned it on for the last time. To my surprise, the graphics were okay and the sound was working fine..
What is going on here! Is there a relation (on the a1200 motherboard?) to corrupt RTG output and the audio not working? Since Im pretty sure this is going to happen again soon or later.
Please dont start on software or power problems, thats not the issue here.
Any ideas welcome!
