Location of CIA Chips on a1200 board?

[Franko]

I think your a wee bit confused here, the CIA chips in an A1200 are not at the top left of the MB, they are located at the top right and top middle, the chips are marked 391078-01 and on the MB they are marked as U7 & U8...

Could you tell us just which chips exactly you are spraying, might help to give a better idea of the problem if you say this seems to cure it...

I've just taken a quick pic of where you can locate the A1200s CIA Chips



I've never had any problems myself with the CIA chips but I'll see what I can find out for you as it may be something else that's causing your problems...

Franko thank you very much that is exactly what i wanted.  

I still haven't came up with a solution though... sorry...

Never had any problems with the CIAs myself...

In all my years of owning A1200s and running them for on average 16 hours a day 24/7, until I bought one from ebay the other day (problem with gfx flicker, soon fixed) I've never had one break down or show any problems at all...

Maybe just lucky, I don't know... but my own personal theory is - I think the less times you switch them of and on the less problems you'll get, sometimes my main towered miggy never gets switched off at all for months on end (my monitors are the same they only go off if there's a power cut)...
