Hello, to make you aware, I sent you my ACA500Plus on 22/6/2020 but it looks like the parcel company have lost it. For compensation payment to me, they are requesting that you sign something to say you never got it. I've sent an email to shop@icomp.de address wth further details.
Hope you can help
I will send it to you guys, it's beyond my expertise.
Should I include a note when sending it with details of my issue and my contact details?
Hi, I've found time to test the known working boot card in the aux slot - it's exactly the same behaviour as the others and it isn't detected.
Hi Jens
I am obviously unsure about warranty status as I'm not the original owner.
Is this serviceable out of warranty, for a fee? If so, approx costs?
PS looks like the certificate for forum.icomp.de has expired!
Thank you again for your responses
Please take a very close look at the AUX slot: Are there any pins bent?
Does the LED light up at any point?
The AUX LED is usually always off when I've been testing it.
However, i've just inserted a CF while in the flash ROM updater and the light came on, and stayed on until I removed the card (no flashing or blinking). It would not detect the update file on the CF card in this state.
Removing the card turned the LED off and subsequent insetions of a CF card have no effect.
Occasionally when inserted a card the LED may briefly flicker or come on, but it's very sporadic.
The manual and Wiki doesn't say what the LED is supposed to indicate so I'm unsure what any of this means.
Yes, it's enabled in the options.
Hi Jens, thank you for the response
It looks ok to my untrained eye. Funnily enought the boot slot has one that looks very slightly bent but that's working fine.
I will test the light and get back to you.
Hi. I recently bought an ACA500Plus second hand in order to breathe a bit of life into an Amiga 500.
I can't get it to read a CF card in the Aux slot at all. I've tried three different cards, with differing brands and sizing.
No icon ever appears in the workbench. I did a fresh WB 3.1 install from the built in ROM/image
if I put a blank card in, FAT32 formatted with the UPD500P.ADF file, it won't read that in the flash update tool either.
Interestingly, I do get a different errrs depending if a card is inserted or not (if a card is inserted, it says CF deteced but file not found).
Am I doing something wrong? Is the ACA500Plus potentially faulty? Any suggestions?
