Hi there!

Do not worry! Do following:
0. Remove turbo from amiga
1. Press all chips which are place in sockets on the turbo.
2. Assemble turbo.

If this will not help try:
0. -"-
1. bend the metal legs of the socket for MC68k towards inside. Be careful - they are easy to destroy.
2. -"-

Most of all - if your turbo was several times removed and then assembled into A600 - you will have to make several attempts to get it working correctly!

I have had the same problems with mine. Nw it works perfectly.

Good luck!!!

Then, carefully(!), remove the MACH chips and reinsert them.

I removed all removable chips and clean their pins and reinstalled finaly it starts working  :-D

I want give a thank to this 3ad, because I was becoming crazy with my apollo630.. Tried everything, added some capacitor and changed tons of dimm module.. Then read this, a bit of contact cleaner under the mach's and.. It works again!
