To tell you the truth Paul, I don't know. The Amiga was flashing me, sometimes with a power led and sometimes with a capslock led. When I saw there was no image on the screen I went back to my soldering iron to try and correct whatever i messed up and never connected it back to my 1084. Every time i soldered some more i just connected the keyboard and watched for those flashes. When i was ready to give up, i gave it one more try, this time with monitor connected to it. Still flashed at me, 5 short, 1 long and then a reboot. Then i set down, lit a cigarette and then a funny thing happened. I got a guru message. An actuall image on the screen ! Telling me to press the left mouse btt to reboot. After that it booted to wb. That was yesterday when i reverted everything back from an unsucessful hack. Today, i did the hack once more and everything went well.

At some point I'll be doing this modification myself, so I'll be extra careful. It's nice to know though that if I do run into trouble then all I have to do is take up smoking! :cool:
BTW, what brand of cigarettes would I need to buy just in case?

Congrats!  When you cut your traces you've got to be extra-careful to get them completely.  I checked mine with a multimeter before powering on just to be certain.  Glad you got it!  :)

Hehe, whatever kind available. While i was smoking i took my phone and did some browsing. I bumped into an article on eab saying something about an unstable 5V line and some capacitors involved into this. Apparently, when this is the case, all Amigas flash their leds in this particular order and reboot themselves until they get a stable 5V "line". Donno what that means, but ... Can any1 confirm this ?

Ah, Lord AGA, my friend. Have you tried smoking a cigare or a cigarette perhaps ? You get to see things from a completely different perspective once you sit down, calm yourself and ... well, inhale. : ))
