repairing A1200
« on: April 09, 2008, 09:21:21 AM »
Hi,
I have a board of A1200, that can't boot.

there is no screen after power on, only pow. led lights on.
After cca 25s floppy start to spinning, but no moving heads noise - still spinning with floppy leds on.

I tryed to change CPU, ALICE and VP101
Resoldered other onboard chips.

But i take no effect.

Power supply is ok, tested on another A1200

Thanx for any idea.

I have a spare A1200 with a dodgy floppy controller if you think it will have any use?

I'm only trying to repair it 'couse I have 2 next spare board with spare components(but with broken PCB).

Maybe it's not advantageous to me... spending so much time with no success...

But thank U for your offer... by the way how much you want to sell me your spare board?

can anyone tell me, what the power led states (little dimmed and bright light) mean? :-?

Usually means theres a hardware error of some sort (I think). You can have my spare board for £5 + P+P, I hope that is resonable.
