Indivision AGA vertical Lines
« on: December 28, 2010, 12:27:38 AM »
Hi All,
Finally getting my Amiga's back into one piece and first up is the A1200, after putting it back together I am getting Vertical lines coming from the Indivision.

My A1200 system is Rev 2B board,3.1 Roms, HP Lisa, Cobra 030 board, IDE Express, Indivision AGA and 300W AT PSU.

I have tried a 15", 17" and 19" CRT and a 15" and 22" wide-screen LCD (although i get no picture from the LCD's), on the CRT I am getting vertical lines running down my screen.
The monitors range from 1999 to 2005. The normal video display is fine, so what am I doing wrong?

Normal output is fine.
I have cut holes in the shield (ATM it is off) to make room for both expansions (IDE fix and Indivision) all pins look fine, there is no heating problem as it is on boot up (i have had my A1200 in pieces for a year i bought the Indivision a while ago but yesterday was the first time I pulled it out of its box and installed it into the Miggy.
Will a glue gun help secure the Indivision?

hmmmm I don't normal screw down the A1200 since I use it to test all the 72 pin ram I have (I have a lot of 72 pin ram that i don't know the size of), speaking of which does anyone know of a device that I can use to see what size my 72 pin ram is?
I might have to bite the bullet and screw the case on.. for testing to see if its a loose connection will it be ok if I hold the indivision down while I it powers up?

Hey Codepoet thanks mate i will keep you in mind if i blow something up. but i have solved the problem somewhat, I need to hold down the indivision and if I do it works well.
Do I really need the metal shield?
I have some rubber leg things (yes I don't know their proper name :P) will they be safe to hold down the indivision?
What about heating problems if I put them there? or not these what can I use to hold the indi down

PS I live in Winstons Hills (come by to chat anytime)
PPS guess who has every Naruto episode... :D (including Movies) :D

On my indi there is a corner that is a bit more shaved then the other side... look like i have to get my little sharp knife out and do some shaving...
I do have grinding wheel BUT LOL feel much more safer for me to use the knife.. :D

For me the vertical lines appeared straight away and you can't miss them they look like the old TV set's before you tuned the channel, but there are completely gone and the image looks great as soon as I hold down the Indivision.
Maybe hold it down a bit and see if the picture is any better.

Also what's up with LCD's I cant seem to get any picture from them. I have tried an old 15" and 17" also a new 19" wide and 22" wide screen and I Don't even get a picture

I forgot to say that when I looked at the Indivision board the soldering around the FPGA looked a bit poor. If i have any problems after all of this I am thinking of reheating and trying to fix all those poor joints.
