I could even "attempt" to perform a fix but remember that this kind of things, are always a "jump in the dark".

"jump in the dark" :-)

I jumped and it was dark, couldnt find the light button ..

Nothing to loose. Let's wait for Effy, then we will see .. if he wants to help me find out or not ?

If not .. be free to jump :-)

@AmireX

I wouldn't mind testing your board on my Amiga 4000 in case you are interested. I live North of you, so to speak :-)

Back home now, I do happen to do afternoonshift this week so that sounds like a good reason for not answering in the afternoon  :-)

AmireX : okay, I shall take your offer like you mailed me. Send the card back and you will get your money like you suggested. Do you feel better now ??? :-?

You got more lucky that I did. I bought this WarpEngine040/40 in April. Card appeared not to work, tried two A4000´s and asked the help of two friends. I tried to get my money back, asked the seller for advice but he didn´t want to refund, started the procedure on PayPal but after a week I got the message that his account is too empty to get a refund ... meaning that I lost my money ... :-o

The other thing is that I am not the real seller as the money you sent me has been transferred to the account of the real seller without keeping a single cent !! So who got screwed now do you think ???  :-?

Thank you Effy, I hope that the seller is correct like you ..

I'll send you the card this weekend. Let the seller test the card again in his A4k and I'm curious to know if it's working or not.

happy for knowing the thing has been fixed :-)

@All

someone (techie) knows what is those metallic component near the TermPower diode/SCSI socket? (CSPPC-CSMK3)

X150---(not sure about the X-seems a simbol/logo)
OU9J---(not sure of the O--or 0)

Seems a drain/protection resistor or an inductance (0 OHM misured onboard)

OK, so far I've tried not to interfere in this discussion because I was convinced that with the help of other people you would soon find out what the problem was. Seems I was wrong. Incidentally, I am the original owner of the Cyberstorm and so much nonsense was told here the last couple of days that I want to rectify some of the things that were told.

I have been a proud Amiga owner since 1987 and sold my beloved Amiga not because there was something wrong with it but because I recently bought a PC and simply don't have the space to keep two computers. Initially I wanted to sell to complete Micronik/A4000 with all the expansions and software I collected over the years as one lot, basically to be able to show to the buyer that everything was 100% OK and to avoid stupid incidents like this one.

The reason for stripping down the Micronik tower and selling it to Effy (as he already mentioned) was to do him a favor because he couldn't afford to buy the full setup at the time. Effy is a perfectly honest guy and as a favor to me he suggested to help me out and sell some of my remaining hardware.

Even now I am still convinced that there was nothing wrong with the Cyberstorm at the time it was shipped to Germany and that you should have contacted the person you bought it from (that is Effy or me) before starting to disassemble and 'wash' it! A refund at that point would have been absolutely no problem!
Now you got refunded too, but with the difference that I might be stuck with a wrecked Cyberstorm. In the process some people even accused Effy and me of being dishonest and trying to rip you off. This is pitiful to say the least.

I could go on like this for a while, but I'm not going to do that. Instead I hope that Effy can get the Cyberstorm running again (I no longer have an Amiga, so I can’t do it myself) in one of his Amiga’s to prove that you were wrong all the way!!!

I'm suprised that this whole thread didn't bring any new naked pictures of Effy's girlfriend. I've been wasting my time reading it for nothing! ;-)

You mean something like this internal scandoubler that I intended to sell on Ebay but instead sold for 50 euro (exc. shipping) to somebody in the UK ???

Meanwhile AmireX has sent the card to Belgium but appearantly not to me but to thw original owner who doesn´t have an Amiga anymore as I bought his one. The additional problem is that the card has been "offered" by TaxiPost on Thursday morning but the original owner was out for work and the next time they come back is next week  :-o AmireX wrote me two mails to ask me where to send the card, but due to having done a lot of overtime at work I have replied a day later telling to send it to my own address which is at the bottom of each mail ... later that day I got the message back that he didn´t send it to me like I requested ... and now I still don´t have the card, so with all due respect, this means that I won´t do the refund yet until I have got it. Seems fair to me, doesn´t it  :-?
