What is this brown thing?
« on: October 01, 2017, 04:04:12 AM »
Is this (at DL1) a cap?  It appears to be made of ceramic.  Anyway, I've had this long-dead Amiga 1000 rev A board, and decided to take one more look at it and noticed the third leg of this part is broken right off.  It doesn't appear so in the photo I've attached, but it definitely is.  Wondering if this could be behind the totally black screen on power up.  Hoping to find a replacement somewhere.

Many thanks!

Thanks guys!

I have no video or any sign of life other than power led when i turn the computer on.  Doesn't matter if it is composite or RGB.  At one time the disk drive would sort of run quietly, endlessly, but putting a disk in would do nothing.  Now it doesn't even do that much.

I've swapped and checked CPU, Agnus, etc.. every IC with known good.  Bought two replqaement PSUs.  Zip.  This delay line thing was one thing I hadn't noticed before.  I was hoping that might be it but sounds like not.  I'm starting to wonder about the 'even / odd' kickstart eproms I have (think thats what they are?).  I have four of them.  Most other machines I've seen in pics only have two.  I don't have a way to check them but seeing how the board appears to be undamaged.. I mean.. no idea where else to go.  Like I said.. was hoping this was it. :)
