Hi,
I have a totally dead Cyberstorm PPC. When I first acquired it, I sent it to AmigaCenter in France to JJB. It looks like they don't exist anymore. JJB at that time tested and said the board was completely dead. I have another Cyberstorm PPC and have been doing a bit of troubleshooting. The 060 is good and the PPC has been removed. I get all the correct voltages. JJB said that the Oscillators were good and SCSI chip. He had ran it through his oven to resolder the 060 socket. I am wondering if I should remove the socket, reball it and replace it but I would have thought he would have done that. So I have tested a lot of the socket pins and they appear to be good. There is nothing obvious pwr, gnd etc. I am thinking it is the CPLD custom chips between the ram slots or possibly the firmware is bad in the chips.
If I were to replace these custom chips, is there a way to flash them with the last update from P5? Would you have any advice or where to look next?
Feel free to PM me.
Thanks,
Charles

Hi Hese,
I have an Amiga 3000 rev7 and CD32 needs your care / work.
Please confirm me your availability to work on both.
A3000 doesn't boot and CD32 needs recap and video repair.

Hello,
I have a Blizzard 2060 that makes 0100 000B recoverables. It boots, then boom. Moving it even slightly makes the computer restart, but I couldn't see any dead solder job.
It also needs some work around it's oscillator that got butchered.
On another topic, I have a 3000T spare mobo that doesn't boot. Black screen. Perhaps you could give it a go?
I'll PM.
Best,
Nowee

Received and tested my Amiga 4000D, which you done an absolutely brilliant job of repairing. It works like when i first bought it in 1995. Connected some of my old Hard drives from back then, and some of them still work! So can make backup onto Media card.
Thank you again for all your hard work.
Will not hesitate in using your services again. Fast , professional and reliable.

Hi,
I have bought an Amiga 4000 in which the main motherboard was heavily corroded by the leaking battery (which I removed). I cleaned it to the best of my abilities but it won't boot, showing a green screen.
I was thinking of moving all the original component to a new motherboard made by ACIIL (already bought with all connectors). Is this doable, even as a long term project? Would really like to get this Amiga working again.
Thank you for any help you can provide. Let me know how to contact you for future collaboration on this.

My dying A600HD was recapped/repaired by hese recently and the man does really excellent quality work, and quickly too. Just tested the system out and everything works like new. Positive feedback left.
