What kind of PSU are you using? The Apollo 1240 cards are notoriously power-hungry. You need at least an A500 PSU to get it running properly.

Hi

I had the same with mine after it had been left in storage for a couple of years an removing and reseating it a few times fixed it. guess it was a bad contact on the edge conector. this may not be the problem with your but it wont hurt to try it.

regards

Andy

Maybe the Mach130/1 and/or the 210 are wrong with their sockets...

Very carefully, remove them, clean all the pins with acetone and plugg them back...


I had this issue with my Apollo 1260 : http://leblogdecosmos.blogspot.fr/2011/09/apollo-support.html

Could be a faulty oscillator (BTW, NEVER RUN THE CARD WITHOUT FITTED OSC).

Also, I used to use an Apollo1240 with FastATA, and that combination didn't work with standard 3.0 roms (black screen)...but worked with 3.1 roms.

Also check for leaked battery, check for damaged traces. If it's really bad it's possibly eaten away at traces inside the card.
