    Hello!


    I installed my Indivision ECS v4 into my Amiga 500 rev 5 NTSC machine and got video output on my VGA monitor - played a game, and everything was great. I accidentally booted the emergency rescue disk from my gotek device, and before I realized what was happening, it flashed the firmware to what I assume is the latest version, but now I get no video output on any devices - just blank screen. I've confirmed the amiga is working as I can do "blind commands" but when the ECS v4 is installed there is no video to anything including RGB port. If I remove the Indivision device, everything is fine, so Amiga 500 is working properly w/o it. I'm able to pipe the output from "flashtool info" and view it on an emulator, shown here:


    Flashtool for IndivisionECSv4 2.3 flash sig: 53464458 - ver: 1.0


    This Amiga is v1.3 ROM so only command line is available to me. The rescue disk in question was linked from the download section in the wiki for ECS v4

    ( http://wiki.icomp.de/wiki/Indivision_ECS_V4/doc )


    I have tried the commands:

    flashtool flash firmware

    flashtool saveconfig default.conf


    Please help. Thank you

    If you don't get any video, I can only assume that the rescue disk did not finish it's thing. It should have written the same core and config to the unit, as we haven't published an update yet (working on it!).


    So the easiest thing for you is to run the rescue disk again with Indivision ECS V4 installed, and let it run from start to finish.

    Hello, thanks for the quick response.


    I re-downloaded the rescue disk and booted it and let it run with the Indivision installed. It eventually goes to a single flash repeated infinitely but no video has returned to RGB port or VGA.

    Single blink means "everything went OK".


    Please dobule-check all connections. The flash tool on the rescue disk is exactly the tool that we're using during initial bring-up and QC, so that's known-good. Also, make sure that your power supply is OK (not that known-bad sub-standard Ama*on/A-Power/Elektroware/Meanwell-based crap), and if all else fails, remove your audio- and monitor connection to make sure there's no ground loop.


    If your monitor has multiple inputs, you may have to press the "source" button for it to switch back to VGA.
