Hi Jens,
Received the repaired CA-PSU this week 
I've tested it for many hours on the "well-equipped" A1200 and I don't get any crashes anymore!
My apologies for being a bit impatient to get the PSU back.
This can be closed, it's fixed! THX!!
Greetings,
Phil
Hello Jens,
We are almost at the end of the year, is there already a timeslot for the repair of the CA-PSU or do you have more news about how far you are with the repair?
Will the warranty be extended by the time the device was with you and I could not use it because of that?
Or would it not be easier and faster to just deliver a new CA-PSU, that is also what the warranty is for, so I do not have to come here every day to see if there is any news.
Just to say that with the older CA-PSU the A1200 still works and never crashes.
Phil
Hi Jens,
Any news about the PSU you received on Tuesday last week?
Just want to inform you with the older CA-PSU the A1200 still runs without any problems.
Greets,
Phil
Thx Jens!
Hi Jens,
I have problems with my 4th CA-PSU from icomp I bought on 24 September this year.
The code on the PSU is yTEXQ.
The problems are varied but almost always end with a crash of my "well-equipped" A1200.
First about this A1200:
The problem with my newest CA-PSU (yTEXQ):
After about 1,5 – 2 hour I get the first problems, games are freezing, demos are freezing, when on the Workbench screen the Matrix screensaver is freezing, it could be also the clock is freezing or Dopus. There's no particular order. The only thing I can do is a soft rest (CTRL-A-A).
When restarting from this soft rest, the A1200 freezes again within 10 minutes.
When I do a hard reset (power off / on) I had several times the Indivision was not recognized and only got a black screen while the CF (hdd) was running (blinking HD-light).
If I had the luck the Indivision was recognized, the Amiga crashes again after some time.
What I tested so far:
I disconnected the Indivision, the Blizzard, the fan, the led light and PCMCIA card reader, in other words, a standard A1200 with only the CF with the original OS3.2.2.1.
With this I connected a RGB monitor and now after about 3 hours the A1200 crashes again without doing something on the Amiga, just a standard Workbench screen.
I have a spare Blizzard 1230 IV, so I connected this and took an other Indivision AGA MK3 from the other A1200 and started all over again (without the fan and led light), within 2 hours the Amiga crashes again without doing something.
Because this is my 4th CA-PSU from you, I connected an older CA-PSU on to this full equipped Amiga yesterday evening, I let it run with some games and demos, making backups, running Dopus, clock, screensaver, etc…
This is running now for 17 hours without a crash with the older CA-PSU.
I don't dare to use the PSU (yTEXQ) anymore, not even on one of my other Amigas.
Also I don’t have the tools the test the voltage of this PSU, I bought this PSU like I said earlier the 24th September of this year, it is still within the warranty period.
What is the next step I can do?
I received the Individion back today, I reinstalled it and the computer starts up again without any problems.
I uploaded my configuration file back into the Individion, I saw that the CCKLine Pull Up was active and turned it off again, never used that before I think. Maybe I had done something wrong there that the Indivision did not agree with.
I removed the upper shield years ago.
Anyway, thanks Jens for making the Indivision usable again. Sent a week ago... now repaired and reinstalled.
What A Service 👍
The last time I opened the A1200 was almost 1.5 years ago when I sent the motherboard to a very good technician here in Belgium for a recap with Panasonic polymer hybrid capacitors. A few days later I put the Indivision back on the Lisa chip. I didn't see the Indivision again until last week when I got the green screen.
I tried to load the Indivision recovery disk, but that didn't work. The Amiga wouldn't boot because of the blinking powerled.
Could it be because of the heat that something went wrong? It was about 30°C in the room when I turned off the Amiga the last time and so it didn't work the next day.
Could I do the reflash in another way?
Send me an email with the costs for your work and the price for returning it.
Thanks for your help Jens 👍
Hi Jens,
Do you already have a time slot when it can go into repair?
I saw it was delivered yesterday.
I could only test it on my 2 A1200's, I'm curious if you also have the blinking powerled and the green screen. 🤢😲
Thx Jens,
Is it really necessary that the connection cable to VGA is also included in the package that I will return?
I have neatly concealed the connection cable under the disk drive, otherwise I have to disassemble it all over again.
Even without it being connected, you immediately have the flashing power LED when you switch on the A1200.
I really hope the price is not too high.

Hi Jens
The whole Indivision is getting hot, I can't measure whether the Xilinx is warmer than the rest. The voltalge regulators (3 of them?) get warm first I think, actually hot.
Is this repairable?
Hello Jens,
Since today I’ve a problem with one of my Indivision’s MK3.
When I powered the A1200 today the powerled was blinking several times and I got a green screen. Yesterday everything was fine.
I thought it was a ram chip error, but when I disconnected the MK3 the A1200 starting as normal with normal output on the RGB port.
Next thing I did was connecting my other MK3 to the same A1200, also here everything good and normal output on the VGA and RGB.
Last thing I’ve tried was connecting the ‘bad’ MK3 to my other A1200 and here also the powerled blinking and green screen.
Without the MK3 I did a 2MB chip ram test with AmigaTestKit 1.20 Almost 700 rounds of testing without errors.
Both A1200’s are powered by your CA-PSU.
The code on the Indivision AGA MK3 = 8T&rV
What else could I try. or is it better to send it back.
I'd love to hear back with your suggestion.
Best Regards,
Phil

You have to push it really hard on the Lisa chip.
Which model of Indivision? ECS, MK3 ? Wich Amiga? Original PSU?
Clean the contacts with an old toothbrush and IPA, make sure that the Indivision is clicked very well on the Lisa chip if you use the MK3
Display MoreI cannot find the "reset tool". I boot from the rescue disk then restart before it flashes anything.
can you please provide a link, it is not in the docs: http://wiki.icomp.de/wiki/Indivision_AGA_MK3/doc
Searching for "reset" talks about the rescue disk, this is very confusing. I cannot find the reset tool.
Thank you.
This is the reset tool you looking for?
Jens said a while ago that only 1 can be bought per person because he is afraid there won't be enough for Christmas. Hopefully you can buy again afterwards.
Try the "Darken" in the adjustments for that "retro-feeling scanlines"
I think I use about 15% with my Eizo monitor.
Oh, but Guillaume from LesDocs does use the exact same monitor model as me with no issue with the exact same settings. Which doesn't help conclude either. Maybe I can send the screen to him so that he compares them.
Did you try the CCKLine Pull-Up, the CCKLine Capacitance and PCLK Resistor settings?
You can find those in the Indivision software in the Advanced Options.
This found I somewhere in the forum about glitches and this was Jens' answer:
Jens iComp developer
"As we pointed out in other threads before, these gfx glitches on some A1200s are not Indivision-specific, but computer-specific. Indivision only has a few options to reduce the effects.
If switching on the pull-up on CCK makes a difference, but does not provide a satisfactory solution, then try the CCK capcitance - that's the solution for more computers."
Hereby a screenshot I found from the advanced options.
The Eizo S1933 monitor (19inch) is the best 5/4 aspect ratio I've ever had for the Amiga, I have 3 of them for my Amiga's.
Jens sold this monitor here also about a year ago, it's not a 15 Khz monitor, so you have to use an Indivision AGA or ECS V3.
I use this with the Indivision AGA for my A12OO's and ECV V3 for the A500, perfect image with HighGFX, perfect 50Hz scrolling and Vsync.
Saw yesterday it's on Ebay, don't know if it's allowed to put a link here to Ebay but here you can find it: https://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/334642877415
Sold out…
