Acill's Amiga Repair Thread

those mats arent some kind of rare commodity im sure you can get them all over the internet...

Thanks for your input. All the ones I've seen on amazon are flat, so, that's why I asked him specifically where he got the one with the raised squares.

Like I said, I've never seen these anyplace other than Frys. I buy them all up every time I see them. I go through them a few a year. I have two now. A medium and a large. I think I saw two more last week. I can get one and put it in your 3000 if you want it.

Sorry kirk i misunderstood

Whew, this Apollo has some tiny things to move for this upgrade. Here is a shot of the resistor I moved through my microscope. Nearly done with the upgrade!

[Acill]

This Apollo is now an 060 and done!

I have room to accept new work if anyone is interested. Please send a PM and let me know what you are looking to have done.

Another 4000D saved! This one came in with some serious damage from leaking caps. I had to remove several surface mount chips and test the traces, repair and replace quite a few chips and the tiny SMD caps and resistors. Please remember to open up your systems and look at them! If you never had a recap done you are due for one. Its not an IF it needs it. They all need it if it was never done.

Things have slowed quite a bit but I am still here working! The next couple of projects are a bit tedious. I have a Blizzard 1240 and an A3640 on the way in to get upgraded to 060. I also will be starting my own CSPPC upgrade with a rev 6 in it. I plan to do the 3rd oscillator socket mod to it and see if I can get the Rev 6 to run at as close to 80Mhz as I can.

Now if those three 060 processors just show up from overseas!

My a3000 should get to you today for a little work

I see it is in the area, that will take a bit of time to get complete. I am getting things ready for Amiwest and have a TON of work related travel the rest of the month as well.

No rush.  Take your time with the old gal.

Started on the upgrade of this Blizzard 1240 to 1260 with a Rev 6 tonight for Wayne. Just waiting on the Rev 6's I ordered to come in and it will be done in no time! All the prep work will be completed tonight or tomorrow.

Enjoy!

Some more progress on the Blizzard 1240 upgrade. Everything is complete with exception of the 060. It should be here later this week and get installed over the weekend.

What you see here is the regulator installed, jumper wire moved to power the regulator and output 3.3V instead of 5V and the 040 to 040 selection resistor moved over to the 060 position.

Looks awesome!!!! Thanks

Too bad the 060 adapter was shot

This adapter arrived back today here : one track is cutted, won't work for sure...

Hopefully, it's an easy repair !!

Didn't look that deep into it since he said he would return it to you. I knew it had something wrong. Good find!

This 1240 is now a 66Mhz 060!
