Amiga One rare case of disfunctioning
« on: March 12, 2007, 01:52:50 PM »
Hi

My Amiga One is in a rare case.
Previously I post on the ASB-Computer threadAnd I only
got one response.

The thing is that I have it working until I power off and
disconnected the cables.Then I connected again and doesn`t
seem to work.This was a month and a half ago.

And now I checked the tower from inside and I see a green light on the CPU so it seems to work.The machine gives noise too and the X-Arcade joystick seems to work too,as
it has a red light.

They try to change the graphics card on a PC shop near to my house but the monitor doesn`t power on neither with the new ATI Radeon card.

So I need help,Anybody knows how to get it working my machine again ?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks stianstr

Maybe the battery... well,but where is the battery?

The battery is not the PSU,no?

If I could find where is the battery maybe I could replace it or give it a try on a electronic repair center near my
house.

Ha ha... no I don´t feel electrified yet.

Thank you guy for the Amiga One CPU scheme it´s very helpful.

My Amiga One G3 is now on the repair center and
now I will wait one more week to see if they can fix it.

If not anybody knows another Amiga dealer on Spain or near
Spain?

I live near France so maybe there is a chance to repair outside Spain.

The only Amiga shop I know on Spain is ASB-Computer... :idea:

OK I apreciatte the comments of everyone,but why the batteries run out on the Amiga Ones and not on the PCs?

I suppose I can get a new battery of the type CR2032 on a computer center or similar.

It`s frustrating to have something new that don´t response
to the expectatives while other computers like my Amiga 500
are still functioning quite well.

Anyway I trust on the repair center.The repair center is not specific of Amiga or PC is more like a center that repairs
computers,videos,TVs,etc..

As the center is more Hardware oriented than Amiga or other computer oriented,I see the possibility to give new life to my Amiga One.

Yeah they talk about quality,the ZICO specification that would be the mark of quality of this computer,technical support,reparation and availability of parts... and...
where are now ? why doesn`t Eyetech or MAI Logic exists
anymore?

Maybe the Amiga One users we must call Amiga companies
and ask them to support a platform that for me at least is new and we must support to keep the illusion of some Amiga
One owners.

The battery was replaced by a similar battery to the CR2032
and the machine doesn`t seem to work on an electronic center.This time the monitor gives light,before doesn´t
gives light on the leds,but the U-Boot sequence does not appear on the screen.As I say the day before yesterday evaluating the machine the monitor didn´t give light.
This was yesterday afternoon on the repair center as I mentioned before,the evaluation of the battery.
OK,so the battery dóesn´t seem to be the problem
Could it be a problem on the G3 CPU.
Maybe in the near future someone will tell me the thruth
cause I don´t know at all.
