haha, no shit?

What are we gonna guess, capacitor leakage, or battery acid leakage? Atleast with the first kind of "my hardware is melting" you can rinse it off!

Yeah, but aren't amiga boards comparatively simple, socketed chips, etc? I imagine you could replace damaged traces with some thin wire?

Ahh right. So the manufacturing process was something they actually did bother to keep current... good to know.

Yes they all come with Magic pack cardboard box and packaging- the actual Magic Pack Software can be configured as an option for the package.  Here are some pictures of our computers we sell

Something I've been meaning to ask: On the build to order form, it has options for a copy of workbench 3.1 and a mouse at cost. Does this mean that the bog standard £99 one has had them taken out, or? If by default they ship with WB 3.0 and the mouse option is to buy a second, I guess that would make sense.

@Hell Labs
You can configure some options to be NONE if you do not need them - please see the configure options at the bottom of the product to see what is provided: http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=305#configure

Ahh, I understand. Odd, there's no option for that accelerator you have in stock though.:)

Anybody know how this turned out, SoftHut is usually excellent at making good any purchase that you made from them.

I post more over on Amigaworld.net.  I am this buyer.  I received the replacement CPU board but made ZERO difference.  Same green and yellow screens.  So, I message Joe of Soft Hut last night and he responded this AM and said he would check with his tech.

So, that is where it stands right now.

Disappointment it will not boot but keeping my head up about it.

If it's anything like my -dodgy DIY hackjob- pc, try completely dissasembling it, then cleaning every possible connection, even the ones you don't need, with a shirt or something clean. Paper towels works. I wouldn't surprised if that was all it was, just oxidation on the contacts.

First few weeks of using an amiga are HARD. Hope he doesn't get scared into dumping it on ebay.
