Pegasos II G4 CPU card problem
« on: November 17, 2015, 11:00:26 AM »
I have two Pegasos II systems and on one of them it seems that the G4 CPU card has problems. I've isolated the problem to the G4 CPU card as I've swapped components between both Pegasos II boards.

The problem seems to have happened when the CPU fan was noisy, so I removed the CPU card, cleaned the fan and put it back. The fan didn't work. Then I checked and one of the the power wires was old and disconnected from inside the fan. I fixed that and it was spinning OK again. However, the Pegasos II always displays a blank screen. I swapped the CPU card from my other Pegasos II and it worked fine.

I think I might have fried my card? I am pretty handy with electronics, so if it is something I can check (capacitor changing, etc), please let me know if any of you have any tips.

I'm yet to connect to it via serial.

Thanks, matt3k. Good advice. I spoke to Bill and I'm now in touch with Thomas at bPlan to see what can be done.

tha g4 NEEDS to be replaced ! baking the card will do nothing than kill it more than it is yet... G4 cpu fry very very fast when it are not properly cooled !


True. FWIW I'm sending over to Thomas at bPlan. Hopefully I'll have my AmigaOS 4.1 FE machine back up and running soon :)
