Amiga One rare case of disfunctioning
« on: March 12, 2007, 01:52:50 PM »
Hi

My Amiga One is in a rare case.
Previously I post on the ASB-Computer threadAnd I only
got one response.

The thing is that I have it working until I power off and
disconnected the cables.Then I connected again and doesn`t
seem to work.This was a month and a half ago.

And now I checked the tower from inside and I see a green light on the CPU so it seems to work.The machine gives noise too and the X-Arcade joystick seems to work too,as
it has a red light.

They try to change the graphics card on a PC shop near to my house but the monitor doesn`t power on neither with the new ATI Radeon card.

So I need help,Anybody knows how to get it working my machine again ?

Thanks in advance.

Could be a dead battery? Weirdly enough the AmigaOne won't boot if the battery is dead...

Try replacing it with a new one! :)

Thanks stianstr

Maybe the battery... well,but where is the battery?

The battery is not the PSU,no?

If I could find where is the battery maybe I could replace it or give it a try on a electronic repair center near my
house.

It's here:



The battery is (AFAIK) of type:
CR2032 which is pretty common in PCs.

I agree with the rest.. It is most likely the battery.

Ha ha... no I don´t feel electrified yet.

Thank you guy for the Amiga One CPU scheme it´s very helpful.

My Amiga One G3 is now on the repair center and
now I will wait one more week to see if they can fix it.

If not anybody knows another Amiga dealer on Spain or near
Spain?

I live near France so maybe there is a chance to repair outside Spain.

The only Amiga shop I know on Spain is ASB-Computer... :idea:

I need to get round to changing mine - I bought one about 6 months ago, and havent got round to it yet !
getting irritating too, it took about 4 goes of switching the PSU off, back on, pressing the case power button, and hearing the HDD and CD whirr and clunk respectively, before watching the monitor to see if there was any output.

oh- nitpick moment, thats an SE motherboard, not an XE !

Why did you not try replacing the battery before doing that? And is this repair center specialized in Amigas? If not, then they wont know what to do and might do more harm than good, since PC's does not have this problem when batteries run out.

The only case I've ever heard of battery running out with PC was with a motherboard that had a manufacturing defect (one diode was reversed, and the battery wasn't charged properly).

The motherboards got replaced for free.

I only had that happening once on an old PC which had been in use for roughly 7 years. On the AmigaOnes, some are changing batteries like others their underwear.  :lol:

Well then I have another case for you. I recently had to replace the battery in my Asus A7v mainboard which is some estimated 4 years old. And it is not a rechargeable type, IIRC it was also an ordinary CR2032.

OK I apreciatte the comments of everyone,but why the batteries run out on the Amiga Ones and not on the PCs?

I suppose I can get a new battery of the type CR2032 on a computer center or similar.

It`s frustrating to have something new that don´t response
to the expectatives while other computers like my Amiga 500
are still functioning quite well.

Anyway I trust on the repair center.The repair center is not specific of Amiga or PC is more like a center that repairs
computers,videos,TVs,etc..

As the center is more Hardware oriented than Amiga or other computer oriented,I see the possibility to give new life to my Amiga One.

Not extremely surprising though. The A500 was mass-produced hardware while the A1s where in fact buggy evaluation/"developer" boards by a small (and now defunct) company.
