I have a A600 here that is not working. Upon power up, the caps light and HD stay lit. I reseated the ROM and disconnected the A601 card and HD, but nothing helps. Any ideas? Bet these buggers are hard to repair.

Mostly black screen the whole time. But once it came up red.

I have a spare Kick 1.2 chip! I will try to install this in my A600 and report back!

OK my ROM is sitting at the right of the socket. So the chip has 2 less pins. Is that correct? ie if looking at the ROM the notch is on the left and there are two empty sockets on this side, and the rom is sitting to the right of the socket lined up. So the ROM is smaller than the socket. I am looking up pics of 600 MBs to see how other ROMs are situated.

OK I got the ROM in the right way. Swapped in my 1.2 and still no powerup, just black screen and power/HD leds on. I wonder if I can get a new MB for a good price? This 600 looks brand new...

Yes I tried that too.

Yes I tried another PS and still no go. Yes this poor little A600 is dead. Tis a shame as the little thing is in such fine shape. Looks brand new! I will look for a NEW motherboard for it I think to bring it back to life...
