Hello.
My father bought the ACA500plus and unfortunately, due to not careful manipulation with broken plastic wing on the right of the two side connectors, he managed to break pins 1 & 2 (from the right side, detail on the photo). He asked me to fix this...
I have a micro-soldering expert to do this, however, he asked for the schematics so he can perhaps bypass the torn-off pad from the board in another way. Can I have the schematics, or perhaps an advice, what is on those two pins? I hope it is not the clock.

The "outermost" pin is GND and can be connected to a nearby copper plane. All copper planes are GND on the ACA500plus.
The second lin is "CD", which stands for "card detect". This is a static signal, "almost unused" on the boot slot. This screen shot highlights the trace:
You can bridge the signal to the corner pin of RN2.
I'd be interested in the result - good luck!

Hello. Finally, we got to the part where the board was connected to Amiga.
First - few photos of the repair: -
However, after connecting the board, there is this issue on boot (see image).
Does it mean the repair was not done properly or is it another problem? -
Please check overclocking options - this seems like a crashing CPU. Set to 14MHz max in global settings.

Jens, thanks a lot for the advice! It appears everything is working.
Sorry for slower updates, my father is busy at work and does not have a lot of time to play with Amiga -
