A1200NG Teething Issues.

[Alt.Vamp]

Good Afternoon,

New user to the A1200NG, I do think its a great product, but a few teething issues.

Firstly I ordered the CPU Boost Kit, because well why not. But I am not sure what this is supposed to physically include, or how to check this. As as far as I can tell nothing extra received.
Secondly, Is there any shortcut way to the A1200NG menu, I tried hunting through the manual and can only assume either there is not one, or I am blind.
Thirdly and possibly most frustrating, I seem unable to regsiter the A1200NG, I have registered myself as a user, and navigated to the "Register Product" page, but selecting the "Register A1200NG" option (which seems to then pre-fill a non-editable text box), the button below then reads "Register This{}" and when pressed I get the Error Invalid Serial Code. Basically meaning I cant seem to update the firmware.

Can anyone help, happy to provide more information if required.

Thanks
AV

About your problems with registering : https://forum.amiga.org/index.php?topic=76574.0

About the CPU Boost Kit, according to amiga kit.com :

The kit includes:
 
 Heat sink
 thermal pads
 4x Bolts
 Serial key code to activate software
 white or black vented bottom trapdoor

Aaaaaand about the "menu" : Which one, normally you can press F12 while in Emulation to get there ...

Thanks for the link about registration I will take a look.

The Menu is the main A1200NG menu, that you get from a cold boot.

So it seems I have been "Swindled" on the CPU upgrade, as I am pretty sure I did not get any of that! 
Well I have already put in an email to AmigaKit on that point, we will wait and see what they say I guess.

You have to quit out of emulation for that, so F12 -> QUIT is the way to go AFAIK that menu is not accessible while in emulation ...

Did You ask for the BOAST to be added on.. the items could already attach and not in a package?

As SACC-Guy said. If you bought with Overclock, it will be attached.
Once registered, Overclock will auto activate when running anything amiga related.

I think everything has been sorted now, although due to my abysmal memory I now have to take my A1200 apart again to confirm before switching on the overclocking  .
