Blizzard 603e + BVision Power Problems?

[Dragster]

Hi There
 
Please if anyone can shed some light on this It would really make my day. I miss my miggy being down and I'd really like to get it back up and running again! Im sure its just a PSU issue....

Well, I have an A1200T with BPPC and BVision (060/603e240 + SCSI) + 256 MB RAM, Fast ATA MK III, Zorro Busboard, etc... it's very stable, boots when turned on, etc. I have a 400 watt PSU feeding power to the machine via the floppy connector of the A1200 motherboard and the p8/p9 connectors of the busboard... there is no need to feed more than that to have a stable system.
 
The logical suggestion: Change your PSU...
 
Good luck,

Ok guys I've just tried the new power supply and the floppy connector on the motherboard now reads 4.97v! (a big improvement on 4.7v)
 
Only problem is that it still doesn't get past the dim green light and the black screen.
 
if I take the card out the Amiga boots and works fine.
 
I've different RAM chips and still the same. I really don't think it's the ram.
 
Is it knackered? Does anyone still know if Jean Jaques is still repairing Amiga hardware in France? (www.amigacenter.com) ??
 
Any tips/advice to get me back up and running will be really appreciated!
 
Cheers

That sounds like a bad card definately...
 
Amiga Center still repairs amiga hardware, including BVisions and BPPCs...
 
You should send your card for diagsnose...
 
Good luck,
 
Cheers

I do hope Mr JJ can help me out

I've sent stuff for repair with him recently. He's pretty fast at diagsnose/repair/email... you should get an email message from him any moment. As for the cost, depending on what your card has, it can be pretty expensive.. ~EUR120... his service is expensive, but VERY GOOD.
 
Unfortunately you might have caused a problem in the card while handling it (blame static charge)... it uses to happen if you don't have/use an antistatic wrist strap.
 
And before you ask, yes.. I killed my BPPC like that, then I had JJ to fix it, got it back (and working perfectly) and I immediately bought a wrist strap.. (lesson learned....the hard way).
 
Good luck.
