Not having a great week :(

First I burn up a Subway USB now it looks like my CSPPC is dead.

Tested in two A4000's it was working in last week, now nothing just black screen of death :(

Guess one of my expensive cards had to die one day :thumbsdown:

This card gave me problems before so it's my gut feeling it's gone for good this time. :sigh:

don`t give up until the magic smoke has left

Sorry to hear that mate, maybe you can send it to someone for a repair?

Good luck in sorting it out.

I can sympathize buddy, but keep in mind that these are all 20+ year old stuff we're handling. No matter how well you treat 'em, they'll give up someday..
Not talking about the Subway of course, and luckilly you'll have it up and running soon. I've been through a bad year so far, starting from new year's day with hospitalizations, health exams, both personal and family health problems, and a car going dead after 20 plus years and 3 ECU replacements within 2 months.. But life is life, and we need to cheer up a bit!
Here's a little something from the 80's to help a bit :thumbsup:

Thanks guys, I need to do some testing on a plain A4000 Motherboard and see if I can get it to boot at all - my first guess is 060 socket might need to be re-soldered as the solder joints can crack where it flexes when fitting CVPPC.

But right now I just feel like giving up. I had some big plans for these projects coming up but starting to loose motivation to continue :(

Ever since buying the A4000T last year I've had nothing but grief :thumbsdown:

i'm really sorry to here this steve.it guts me evrytime one of these dies.


although .........it may not be dead,cant you get stachu to have a look at it.

do you think maybe its a connector maybe the fast slot they are prone after all its been in a few amigas hasent it?



dont feel down steve,it will get better honest:)

sorry to hear this Steve, but also..... welcome to my life!!!
:(

Really sorry to hear that m8, but from what I understand these are the joys of owning super powered Amiga's :thumbsdown:

I was quoted €60 for a CSMKIII 060 socket repair last week.

Thanks guys.

Don't really want to burden Stachu with it to be honest. I'll put it to one side for a bit and test it on a bare board later.

I had planned to send another CSPPC to Stan to upgrade but I think I'll call that off for now and review things.

So at least I still have a working CSPPC.
