Hi guys,

I had a bad experience last year when I bought Blizzard PPC 603e+ over ebay
and it came faulty. When I put accelerator into A1200 tower,
I have white screen and system stays hanged. I am wondering is there anybody that you know who will be able to repair this type of hardware for surre ?
This is the piece :

Kind Regards.


I bought the 060 version several years ago on ebay for £467. When I first installed it, it would only boot up on the odd occasion, mostly just a black screen but on the odd occasion a white one. :(

Turned out the problem was with the edge connector. In the end I desoldered it and swapped it for another edge connector that I also desoldered from an old 4Meg RAM expansion board.

It's worked fine to this day (fingers crossed), but it was one hell of a nerve wracking job desoldering & resoldering the connector, not a job for the faint hearted but it solved the problem with my board... :)
