@AmiNeo
you can put up a wanted add in the Amiga -> Wanted section to get more hits if you would like.
Although one cannot garuantee that its a capcitor problem (as it could be a number of other things) its the most likely of cuplrits as 15+ years even of a moderately used A1200 is more than they were originally designed for.
for the moment thought, sit back - relex and enjoy your A600, theres plenty of fun to be had with that I can promise you.
Save some pennies and have a chat with the guys that rkauer mentions =)
juvuk mutters to himself "pah A600"
LOL, yea i know. the 600 is great, was my only amiga when i was younger but theres a 1200 in the room and i can't use it... :censored: lol.
I will hang on and try those other ROMs first if scrappy doesnt mind still sending them. Afterall there is a chance its not the caps, however small.
Out of curiosity how much wattage does a 1200 need from the PSU for a stock unit? Ive been thinking that although unlikely, perhaps the PSU isnt up to the job...
And broadening my options... and i know were not suppossed to mention costs due to price driving but approximately how much would it cost me to replace the motherboard altogether? Say if i was to find a spare working one on the for sale boards one day.
Just a ballpark will do... I'm at a disadvantage being fairly new and not used to seeing a lot of things on the boards for sale yet so i have no history to base it on...

And lol JuvUK
best advise m8y, do a search on ebay for A1200, that should get you a rough idea of prices
:cool:
All i can find on there are full systems though.
No motherboard onlys or anything like that. Nevermind if you cant say ill just keep an eye out.
@AmiNeo, your parcel was sent this morning matey.
If you do find you need a new motherboard and you cant find one on the forum give the ebay seller airey36 a message via ebay.
He splits machines up all the time and i'm sure he'd be able to sort you one out.

It's while I was dealing with him that I stumbled across AMIBAY :D
... And Amigakit...

...And cheers Scrappy! :thumbsup:
I was thinking a new intact board may be cheaper than posting the thing, paying for caps replacement and then shipping back to me. Especially if it turns out to be something different altogether... What u guys think? What would you do? I need to spend a little as poss, and unless im shelling out for a new iron, replacing caps myself wont be an option.
