2 x Amiga 500 not working motherboards

I have for sale 2 Amiga 500 motherboards.

1ª - Amiga 500 not working rev 6A board, when turned on, white screen appear.
Is in good cosmetic condition and all ships are there, including rom 1.3 .

2ª - Amiga 500 not working rev 6A board, when turned on, green screen appear.
Is in good cosmetic condition and all ships are there, including rom 1.3 .

I'm asking 5.00euros for each + shipment costs. Any question just ask. Have fun!

Hold on there, that might be fixable chap! The white screen motherboard may just need a re-seat of the ROM chip. Worse case it could be a RAM issue or the ROM needs replacing altoghether.

The green one sounds like another ROM chip issue but chances are it needs replacing, that could be the only issue. Mind you I don't know how much troubleshooting you have done but it you got the spares and havn't tried it you could be selling 2 working motherboards for very little work. :)

If you do try some things, it's well worth re-seating all the removable chips.

And if you don't feel like repairing I will announce interest for just that reason :)

PM sent :)

Just to be clear, which board(s) are you declaring interest in?

Sorry, that would be both :)

I test the roms in a working A500 and they working fine, so maibe it will be another problem.

Interest withdraw, my mistake for not reading properly :Doh:

The green screen A500 may be cured by simply taking the Agnus out of its socket and reinserted.

Beware to not use screwdrivers as it may broke the PLCC Agnus socket. If no avail, the cause is a RAM trace on the motherboard (when the A501 battery leaks the fumes may corrode tracks near the pin header) or a dead RAM chip (this will appear way too hot to touch).

Very easy fix.:)
