The Amiga has defeated me

Or should I clean you up and salvage what I can then pass you on to someone else.

I shall go sit in the corner now, or maybe go for a walk. I can't look at you right now.

Commodore stuff never had the best quality control when it was NEW and then got worse as went on and then came Escom...

all this stuff is aging getting stuff like caps start to fail, plastic parts get brittle, some soldering can crack, etc...


My a-power PS broke the other day and so now i need to use this stupid "bigfoot" thing. (sh)it happens.

If you decide to sell your stuff maybe you could get the new FPGAarcade or even an older 1.1 Minimig (although I'd suggest finding which with an ARM controller)

I have to say, and I know some won't agree, but the Minimig BETTER than the real thing...

Old board has a display problem flicks a lot and I can see a crack near the Denise chip.

Take the board out and start asking around and see if you can find a local shop (or maybe just some dude) and have the crack fixed under a scope and maybe look for additional cracks... That is easily solved...

I used to work with a guy who would have done that for some beer or something...
