Blizzard PPC Crisis

[Framiga]

Can i use that method as a permenant setup?

not . . .but IF the PSU starts in those way, then you must search the 2 PowerTower switch wires (only 2 of 4) that close and open the circuit.

Connect those 2 wires and you'll have a right switch ON/OFF.

Probably, you have chosen the wrong ones. (check with a multimeter which ones open/close)

Hello,

Got the adaptor working. It was a fuse in the plug that blown, so i replaced it, then it worked! :-) Unfortunately, the PPC seems to be dead, and also the 5 pin power supply adaptor thing for the a1200 has now broke so i need to get that repaired somehow. How much would it cost to repair or buy another 5 pin adaptor thingy and what can i do about the PPC, can it be repaired? How much would it cost?

Cheers,

Okay. I now have my stock Amiga 1200 working fully again now. But when i boot with the PPC card in, i get the same problems as before. Is there anything else i can do or check? I have tolf the Amiga Repair Centre about it and they said it didn't sound too good.... it'll cost around £140 to repair! :-(

Fit a piece of bare wire (or solder) into each of of the holes on the power lead.  Ensure that all three are connected - if not, your wiring may not be properly earthed, which could be potentially dangerous.

Oh! Nice one! And make sure to twist one, and only one, of the side wires together with the one in the middle. Then plug the cable in and go take a shower. Touching the kitchen sink at this time is also recommended.
