PPC troubleshooting

[Cyberus]

Right, I've stripped the system - I've pulled the Silversurfer and PCMCIA NIC, I've pulled the SCSI cable from the BPPC, all that remains is a Powerflyer, to which a HD and CD-ROM is connected.

The system won't boot, although I can feel warmth (not blazing heat) from the 060 and PPC chips, and I can get to the accelerators menu by pressing Esc. I suppose the next step would be to remove the BVision - why do I get the feeling that its impossible to fix to the accelerator with those little screws? How does one hold the nut for each screw in place when reattatching?

Hello Framiga,
I have tried that already

I hope the PPC is not dead :-(

Could a faulty BVision have this effect, or shall I just face the fact that the PPC is gone :cry:

The monitor is connected to an external scandoubler on the RGB port. When I connected the monitor to the BVision, I got endless gurus.

Removing the Powerflyer is a pain in the a$$, because the ROMS are mounted onto it. :-(


edit: I think I will just rebuild the system from scratch

The system didn't boot, or, at least all I saw was a black screen.

This is the first time I've had a PPC system, so I'm learning as I go along...

Well, the two possibilities if that is the case are Hyperion's repair service, or the Amiga repair centre en France. But I haven't given up hope just yet, could be all manner of things causing problems.
