Dead A1200
« on: July 10, 2009, 04:39:47 PM »
Hi
Just been given a 1200 thats not working. Will not power up at all, the power supply is humming so I expect its probably working. Never used an Amiga before so I'm stuck. Any ideas?

Thanks

Rich

Nothing at all. I stripped the machine down to see if anything was touching the motherboard but it looked ok. The metal shielding has been butchered around where the HDD mounting is. Just checked the power supply with a multitester and its fine.

Just checked for power on the board. There is power at the cpu slot and the floppy drive and also the video port @ 12 volts. But where there is meant to be 5 volts eg the mouse ports there is only 0.5 volts??

There is 5v showing at the power supply. There isn't 5v showing at the floppy power.
