I purchased an A4000 earlier this summer and have been slowly getting around to working with it. I used to have an Amiga when I was younger, and being the pack rat that I am I kept almost all of the software and working hardware I had. So I had several joysticks and some software. While tinkering with WHDLoad to get some old games to work, I noticed that I couldn't go up with the joystick. Following the advice and use of a program by a user on another site that I have visited I found that it wasn't the joystick, but the actual port. I don't really know what to do, as I am not steady with a soldering iron. I talked to the gentleman who runs Softhut, and he gave me the phone number and address to their repair service, which is, coincidentally near where I live. Looking around for people with similar issues, I have come across that most replace the motherboard. I am dead broke right now, and where I can afford to to repair the motherboard, I highly doubt I could afford to replace it. I apologize for the life story, but I am curious if there is anything that a low tech user like me can do? Thanks for the help.
