Hi folks, multi amiga owner. That's recently returned to the Miggieverse

Looking for recommendations for getting my A1500/A2000 board refurbished and working again

Your Input appreciated

Edit: Being honest, I haven't tried to boot it up for a few years, when I opened it to check it, it had lots of the dreaded varta battery leakage so decided not to risk trying to power it up again until it was repaired and refurbished

Welcome to Amibay

in regards to your A2000 what is the issue with it? i.e. what symptoms are you seeing, any coloured screen?

So if there is battery damage this is hopefully just track damage/cpu socket replacement.

I noticed you asked @stachu100 about assistance are you looking for him to repair this or do you have a original PPC accelerator?

if you are handy with a pair of snips I would recommend to get it out to stop further damage while you wait for a repair quote. Good Luck

Yes, battery was removed as soon as I was aware of the problem

First thing is probably to replace the ancient power supply with something modern, cos if it goes, the whole lot goes

Hi Paul. Welcome.
Did you get your motherboard off for repair?
