Epsilon's Amiga X1000 Blog

You should arrange to get an X5000 instead.  Being able to cover the new machine in your blog is good for A-EON too.



It sounds like it was the powercut, or when the power came back on, that killed the CPU.  That he was updated the firmware at the time is simply co-incidence.

The CPU is surface mouned but as JJ says it is the cost of sourcing a replacement that makes it uneconomical.

@Epsilon

Have you checked to see if you could claim against your home/contents insurance since the X1000 is a high value item.

to be AmigaOS NG user is a expensive venture

@OlafS3

i've had commodity PCs -- expensive ones -- die, too. it happens.

PCs for 3000 EUR? PCs die too of course but it depends on what you have paid for it

[OlafS3]

i've paid more than that for PCs in the immediate past, yes. some gaming rigs can cost a fortune. and at least two in the past decade died and required a $1,000+ replacement of components. so it can happen anywhere.

I do not need high-end gaming and for normal purposes any standard system is enough. I would have even problems to imagine a PC for that price. But if you say you have.

[OlafS3]

Yes that was already clear.

Just very curious where my personal documents and data going to...

You mean there are cloud services you trust sensible data? :confused: :lol:
