Amiga CD32 garbage video?

[AmmoJammo]

So, the video pretty much shows what its doing... there's also a  clicking noise through the tv speakers, but I don't think its actually  anything the CD32 is trying to play.

The colours almost look like the CD32 boot screen to me, but that could just me being optimistic :p

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Since making the video, I've pulled the kickstart chip, and no longer get any colours (just a black screen, or a black screen with grey shades of tearing), so it does appear that its trying to do something.

How is the CD32 connected to that monitor/TV?  There a potentiometer on the TV modulator next to the RF out but adjusting it obviously won't make any difference if you're are not using RF.

If you put in a disc and power it up, does it spin the drive or act like it's trying to boot?  Do you get "different garbage" on the screen?

If its attached to the TV with an RF cable it could be that it's not tuned into the TV correctly, if it is connected this way try doing a fine tune on the TV.

The CD32 was connected via composite, I've also tried it via S-Video.

Unfortunately, I don't have a cd drive for this CD32... all I have is the motherboard :p

[AmmoJammo]

does anyone know how much current the CD32 normally draws from the 5 and 12volt rails?

this motherboard is drawing about 1.1amps on the 5volt rail, which seems about right to me for not having a cd drive and not doing any processing? The 12volt rails its drawing only 80ma, which seems low, but may be perfectly normal?

I'm thinking this motherboard may have the same issue, but its worse on the one I have:

"When you turn it on  the boot up screen is all choppy and flickery and sometimes it loses the AV signal completely."

It sounds like something has failed. Check all the chips 1st. Next you will have to go through all the resistors and capacitors etc.
It may be  a short circuit or open circuit if you are lucky.

Sounds like cap leakage.
