I Have a Picasso II in my Amiga 1200. But as I changed the PSU from my 2000 I now have no TICK signal. No SD or VGA will work anymore.

With a non-Amiga PSU you'll need to set J300 to 2-3 (A500 tick/_VSYNC).

Do you mean the elco's around the Zorro Slots? They all seem to be fine.

You need a true tester to check them ! they could be nearly 'dry' internally...

Than it is not easy for me to test the functionality. I'll just exchange them with same type.

What if I would change all the video chipsets, like Agnus and denise, could that help?

@zac67, The jumper is set to 2-3, but I thought/read that no SD of VGA card would work anymore.

@Roger
J300 determines where the _TICK signal for one the CIA clocks comes from. Usually it's derived from mains frequency (thru the PSU), on the A500/1000 they use the video's vertical sync which is cheaper - but with ECS you can change the vertical frequency which will make the clock unreliable. If you don't use 'custom' video modes, it shouldn't matter.

OK, I'm going to try my picasso II and a different monitor that I can hook up to the RGB port.
