Indivision ECS Issues

[barney]

Hello everybody I have a question for you about the Indivision ECS Scandoubler.  After a few minutes of usage on all my monitors, the screen becomes files with horizontal lines and severe bizarre distortion.  Any idea's what this is?  It's rather annoying and makes me really miss my old A2320 I sold a while back.

Thanks for the tips.  I have a feeling your right on it being a heat issue.  I will sit and watch the screen and after 10 minutes, the problem occurs.  Rather than being a scandoubler issue, I have a funny feeling the problem the Motherboard starting to get flakey.  I guess I'm going to have to open it up and take a look.

Which model of amiga are you using this in?

I have 3 Indivision ECS (and 1 AGA MK2).  I find that Indivison needs really clean power.  This was particularly an issue with my A500+.  The screen would tear and distort especially if you use the floppy drive (the floppy added noise to both 5 V and 12 V lines).  I switched from an A500 Obese Boy (sorry not a politically correct name)  to one of my XT power supplies modded for an A500.  Now everything works great.

That is my problem exactly.  the screen will tear and distort.  I bet it is the power supply.  Is there a place out there that sells new XT modded power supplies? Thanks.

I'm using an Amiga 2000.  That is my problem exactly.  the screen will tear and distort.  I bet it is the power supply.  I am going to check out amigakit and get an ATX power supply adapter and replace the power supply.  Before that I might even get a good heatsink/fan and see if that fixes the problem.

The interesting thing is that I used my INdivision for about 3 years before this problem started.  This leads me to believe it's probably is in fact a failing item; possible the power supply.
