A1200 / 040 and games

Blimey.  So press '2' at around the time that one might hold down both mouse buttons to get to the early startup menu?

Yep ... easy as that

[ZeBeeDee]

Nope, it didn't work (tried booting into Workbench and doing ShowConfig).

Hold down the 2 key when switching on miggy ... NOT the 2 key on the numerical keypad!

One other thing - the cooler on the 040 has come loose.  It was apparently held on with a thin layer of glue previously, and currently the modified trapdoor is holding it in place without obstructing the fan.  Any suggestions for replacement glue or another HSF?

Hot glue it in place but mind your fingers

[ZeBeeDee]

As in, with a hot glue gun that I used in craft classes at school?

Would superglue melt the processor?

Like this ...



superglue is okay to use on CPU's but it's a bugger to remove if the fan stops working later on

[ZeBeeDee]

I think you are supposed to use CPU cement, which acts to draw heat away from the CPU.

you could use CPU glue but all you need to keep the fan in place over the cpu is a couple of blobs of hot glue on the four corners of the CPU then press the fan in place

the glue then forms a good solid bond once cooled
