Hi all new to this forum,
Well this is my story,today i wanted to add a second floopy drive that i just purchased for my A2000.All was going well,almost finished just needed to reassemble the casing that holds the power supply,and floopy drives.

Ok powered on both floopy drives start up cool,then the video out put on the monitor is yellow.Workbench loads up,everything is just a blurr.

Next i removed the casing that holds the power supply and found that,i must have dropped the power supply casing into the video output chip(vidiot)and the chip has split right down the middle.:banghead::crying:.

I know that these chips can be removed from A500's,is it easy to desolder and resolder.Also i wouldnt think these would be available new.

Maybe there is a hake for this chip?

Or would any one have a non/working A500/A2000 who is in Australia.

Any suggestions would be great on replacing
