Hello everybody !

My name is Fabio and I'm an Amiga user since 1988.
I have 1 A 500 ( 1.2 my first) which is dead, 1 A 500 (1.3) to replace the first and
1 A 1200 (3.1 + blizzard 1230-IV + 32 Mb ram + CD/HD)

Bye Fabio

Hi Fabio and welcome.

 

[rkauer]

If you tell us the A500 symptoms we can help you to revive it.

Anyway, welcome to the Amibay.

@JuvUK
@Phantom: Thank you guys

@rkauer: The first symptom was black screen when i turned on the A500 and after some seconds a small smoke near the video port. I replaced a burned resistor and a faulty capacitor and the screen returned ok. :smile:
The second problem is the disk drive, when i turn on the computer it doesn't click and if I insert a disk it doesn't boot. I change the disk drive but nothing so i bought 2 new CIA and now the drive click but doesn't boot when I insert the disk. :-(

Thanx
Fabio

Replace Paula, which is the disk controller, among other functions.

Ok I'll make this as I have some time.

Thank you, rkauer.

Bye Fabio
