Help! My A1200 is dying
« on: July 14, 2003, 11:57:23 AM »
Hi,

this is my first post here and sadly enough it's a bad one. My (backup) Amiga 1200 is dying!
Yesterday, when i tried to power it up it froze after a few seconds. That happend again every time i switched the power on. so I tried a different PSU, but nothing changed. So I disconnected everything (apollo 1240, hard disk, floppy,  the keyboard, I even took it out of the case (desktop case) but nothing changed.
Now, when i try to boot up the following happens:
1. Power LED on
2. I see the 'insert disk' picture
3. after about 2 seconds the picture freezes + LED flashes
4. Guru (so short that I cannot read it)
5. Black screen

after powering of, waiting some seconds and powering on again the same happens.  :-x  :-x

It's revision 1.d1

I have another 1200 board before this one that died showing only a green picture. (bad chip ram i think) so that would be the 2nd one that dies :-x

I tried it with 2 two different PSUs, no difference.
You're right I'll try to get a new one.

It's just bad that there is no way to fix it.

thanks anyway

b.t.w. Xeron, I like your Real Pong game   :-D

@lempkee

No, it's ulf from germany  :-)

Yes I removed everything. The only thing that was connected was LED, Monitor and PSU. It might really have been running on low power (a1200 psu) for too long.
I also tried to push the kick roms a little futher down into the socket, I'm afraid there is not much more that might have get loose because everything else is soldered.
I think there's not much i can do about it anymore.
except  :-x

Thank you anyway!
Luckly, It's the backup und not my main Amiga  :-)
