CLOSED: Busted Amiga1200 motherboard
« on: January 14, 2008, 02:47:42 PM »
I'm located in Norway. I have a bust A1200 motherboard which I'll give away for the cost of postage.

If it has to be sent as a package it's quite expensive (270NOK to 450NOK Europe/World. atm €1=7.9 NOK)

As a letter it's cheaper, up to 200NOK. A card was sent to me from Germany for €12.90, so it should be an indicator.

It's been a while since it was tested. But symptoms were that the screen is black while the area around the ROMS gets crazy hot.

It can be used as spare parts by someone with skills?

Hm

I just tested it. No signs of life except:

Screen changes it's shade of black when the motherboard is powered on.

ROMS gets insanely hot.

And as I plugged in the RGB-2-Scart lead for my screen there was a nice brilliant white flash :D

But there is some life, and it seemed like it almost wanted to boot.. But then I really dont have a clue :)

I think it's only the ROMs that are damaged.

They were seated wrong, now they don't get hot anymore - but still now display.

Rebooting ctrl-amiga-amiga will "reboot" it. But only for a second flash os3.1 purple on the screen before it goes black.

I do not dare to try my working 3.0 ROMs in this machine, or these 3.1 ROMS in my new. So take this as info if you'd like the card.
