Resistor value for v1.4 Picasso II board.

After testing the card in my A4000 it worked.I also heard the clicking sound of the relays, never heard that before.

I then reinstalled the card in my A3000 and it worked for the first time. Sounds strange considering that I tried practically everything else to get the card to work, the only explanation seems to be is that the caps near the relays were still charged after the card was powered up in my A4000.

Is there any good online reference material for troubleshooting & repairing an A3000 PSU ?

Cheers.

 I think the best choice is convert a peecee AT PSU. It's easy to do and only need to change a jumper on the A3000's motherboard (J300, IIRC) in order to get the internal "tick" signal instead of the orig PSU one.

 Plus you get an unexpensive replacement and a lot more power (peecee's PSUs are plenty of power).:idea:

I think it would be best to just order a tower and put the standard case aside. Unless of course there are replacements that will fit inside a standard A3000 case.

As a test I converted an ATX PSU to connect to the Amiga last night, those funny lines are gone & now I can use all of the higher res screen modes I couldn't get with the original PSU.

 There is various mini AT PSUs (baby PSU) around. Simply buy one. They fit perfectly inside the A3000D's case.
