A4000D issues
« on: October 23, 2010, 09:19:39 AM »
I have a 4000D with a Deneb USB card, 16MB fast ram, 2 MB chip ram, 3.1 ROMs, and a 68040. The mouse/joystick ports don't work anymore, though. I have the "jumpy mouse" problem, and I think I've isolated which chip on my board is bad. I'm no hardware expert, so any advice on this is welcome, but I'm wondering a few things:
 
1. With the Deneb USB card, if I install OS3.1, can I just bypass the joystick ports and use USB for everything?
 
2. Is there anywhere I can send the MOBO to get it fixed?
 
3. Is there an easy process to bypass 3.1 and use UAE to install 3.9 to a compact flash drive if I get one? Is there a benefit to running 3.9 over 3.1? 3.5 and 3.9 seem to have mixed reviews.

Maybe give Zetr0 a pm ?
 

That doesn't seem to be an Amiga.org user. Does this person go by a different name here?
 
Are there any repair places in North America?
