Blizzard PPC 603e+

[logicom]

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 ?

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...

Not an all unusual thing with these boards especially the DCE reproductions (lower quality)

At the age these boards are invariably it's the edge connector and a power problem because of it.  Brand new these boards are drawing the max across the A1200 edge connector for power and age, weak connection, corrosion on edge just makes things worse.

I would buy a wedge eraser and shave it down to the connector edge size to insert in and clean the orgiginal connector, also provide a beefier power suppply to the PPC board.
Do NOT use the original A1200 PSU.  That PSU is just "barely" cutting it for the requirements.

If the above doesn't work then have the edge connector replaced as well the rest of the board checked out by a qulified electronics tech that is familiar with Amiga hardware.

I'm have the experience to verify your board but unfortunately I do not have any of the
AMP connectors and they are hard to come by last time I attempted a supply 3 years
ago.

Or better join on Amibay and lookup Stachu100 and yeah not only he can repair it, he can also upgrade it to a 060 and 330MHZ PPC.
But it will cost a bit.
