Amiga a600 drawing it's last breathe :-(

Post by peapod »


Just wondering if we have some Amiga a600 hardware guru's who can guide me.

Recently got my a600 out of storage only to find some minor capacitor leakage (luckily not too damaging to the motherboard). I've manged to clean it up with IPA and also completed a re-cap, lost 2 solder pad's but have managed to put in some via's to complete the circuit in both cases.

Now i'm stuck on a white screen at boot up, resistor R235 on the bottom of the board gets very hot, (next step is to remove this but i doubt that will allow the boot to complete). Modulator is already removed with a view to adding the S-Video adapter internally

I've started to look at https://www.amigapcb.org to start tracing out the connections its slow going at the moment, so putting it out there in case one of you retro aficionado's can hit the nail on the head in a single reply.

Thanks in advance

Or https://eab.abime.net/ 

Since they're Amiga focused (and huge), that's a good place to get help.
