Acill's Amiga Repair Thread

[Acill]

Thanks in advance. Hope to run into you at Amiwest. Do you need the whole CD32 or just the board?

Just the board is fine unless you want it tested. I dont have a CD32 to do a full OP test on it before I start and once I compete it myself.

I have a 3000 with no boot/ grey screen when turning on.

Can you help with that?

Can you help with that? I could bring it to amiwest if you think you can.

Was great to meet up at Amiwest. A hearty thanks for the great re-cap job on my A4000. Would recommend you to anyone with a classic machine.

Hope you enjoyed your trip up.

Thanks to everyone that came up and greeted me at Amiwest! I cant believe how many boards I completed while there!!!! I honestly lost count.

As previously mentioned I have a work trip I  am leaving for tomorrow. I will start up again on the remaining boards I have here in my possession for recaps once I get back on the 21st.

I've never had a complaint, but I just want to remind people this is a part time job and can be slow at time. I will get them out though! :cool:

[Acill]

Ugg!! For those with boards in waiting on me for recap and repair please accept my apology. I just got told I have to leave for two weeks starting this sunday. For those sending in boards its okay to do so still and they will be safe and picked up by my wife while gone, but please understand this time of the year has been nuts and me being a US Government employee on my real job makes it crazy some times.

If you need your boards back and cant wait to have me complete them please let me know. I can have my wife return them. I am real sorry about this delay, but dont have a lot of control over emergency trips I get sent on like in this case. I will be available still over the internet and this thread.

[Arnuph1s]

It's all good. Shoot me a message once you are back and have a chance to look at my CD32 board.

Those waiting for boards that I have to get done I want to send out a huge apology for the longer than expected delay. The last couple months have been a travel nightmare for me due to a way over the top schedule here at work. This is not the norm and I dont have much control over it. I work for the department of the Navy as a civilian missile systems technician. My job requires me at times to fly out to ships for repairs and certification inspections.
I am leaving yet again and will return on the early December. I will be working non stop that following weekend to get caught up!

As a result of this delay I will be giving a substantial discount to all those I have in my queue currently to make up for this. This is also why I refuse to take payments in advance.

If you are tired of the wait, and I understand that please contact me. I will return your board at my cost.

The ships I have a responsibility for are having some unusual issues lately

You probably can't tell us, but is it the Zumwalt?

Safe travels!

[Acill]

You problem can't tell us, but is it the Zumwalt?

Safe travels!

No comment.... but I wont touch that ship for as long as I can help it, lol... I hate that ugly thing.

Have a safe and enjoyable trip!

[Acill]

Good Grief! No one on this website has a "Need to Know" that information of your job Acill. As a for former Navy Chief you should know that. Nuff said.

Nothing said, they can know my job assignment as far as I am concerned. I just want to make sure people understand why things are delayed. You are right though on the context of your concerns. I cleaned it up a bit after looking at what I said.

[giZmo350]

thx!

[Acill]

Back to work I go! Few recaps done today, and this A1200 is getting it's IDE header repaired and replaced with a proper box style one that should last forever!

[Acill]

What a productive week!!! 3 CD32's done, 2 A1200 recaps and 2 A4000 recaps! I am nearly done with everything in my queue!

New orders will be accepted after Christmas, but you can contact me to send things in now if you like. Just be aware I wont be doing anything until after the new years holiday.

[Acill]

I have finally got all caught up!!! If you need recaps done and would like to contact me about sending them in you are welcome to do so.

Repairs will take longer and get done on an as I get parts in basis, but shouldn't be too long after the new year is over to also have those speed up.
