Weird A2000 problem.
« on: January 19, 2004, 05:44:25 AM »
Quick question. Anyone experienced this problem with an A2000?

The computer turns on, goes through what looks like a normal color cycle on screen, but then fails and reboots. It does this continuously. Every now and then I get a blue color and every now and then i get a green color, but usually it cycles normal but fails and reboots.

I am suspecting a weal or faulty power supply at this point, but it's late and I'm going to sleep:-) Has anyone experienced the same?

Did you make any hardware modifications/upgrades? Fitting a 3.1 chip on a A2000 might require some modifications


Nope, affraid not. This is a unit that had a toaster and KS1.3 ROM, but has been sitting in storage for many years. The only modification I did was to replace the battery, even though it looked fine when I got the box.

I hope this to be of some help...


Yup, sure is. I don't work on these every day so any suggestions are good, thanks:-)
