  • Hi. Been inserting and removing cards many many times ever since I got the ACA500+ about a year ago now, but today when I tried to insert a card in the right slot, pins got bent :(. When this happened, the computer reset, and all that happens now when I boot the Amiga is it only shows an aqua colored picture, and the DisMo says "20". If I remove the ACA500+, the Amiga works properly (whew).


    I tried to bend the right pin back, but the area was too small/narrow, but when I brought out the camera to take the picture, I noticed the pins in the middle was bent as well.


    Couldn't find any contact info on the site, so don't know how to go on about potentially sending it back for repairs. So seems this forum is the only way to communicate with the makers of this fantastic product.

  • Really? The law requires us to publish that in the "Impressum" :-)


    Anyway, hints for sending stuff back to us are summarized here:


    If you need to return something to iComp for service...

    Hi. Sorry, don't know what "Impressum" is. I took a look at the page you linked, seems quite complicated to send something back. I've literally never sent a package, so this will be my first one. I just hope I do it right :)


    Btw, when I looked through the threads for potential help/info on what I was seeking, I didn't see the one you linked to, but notice now it was at the bottom of the page on my screen, which I thought was just the latest comments, didn't noticed it had your thread pinned. My bad.
