  • MK3 AGA question

    I actually bought it second hand from eBay. So I'm guessing I have no warranty. I am in the US, so shipping would still be a lot.


    I'm still having lots of trouble with this card, and about to go back on eBay and sell it for a loss. I was hoping it was the capacitor so I ended up keeping it, but that didn't fix the issue at all. I did solder a small 16v 10uf cap on, that wasn't a big deal.

    It almost never powers up. If I turn the power off and on again real quick, sometimes the card will power up and show a display. Actually, I think even when it's not showing a display, it's powered up as the card gets warm.


    My A1200 is recapped and the timing caps on the bottom aren't there. I have a 1D4 board. I've tried the recovery disk and it flashed fine (when I was able to get it to find the board), and sometimes works beautifully. But most of the time I get no display. And this is with two different power supplies, one original and one of those newer style that I'm told is Meanwell, that you say is not good for the Amiga. Anyway, it does it with the original power supply too.


    I've checked the pins on the Lisa chip under my microscope - all are soldered fine, no cracks.

    Unfortunately I only have a single A1200 to test with.

    It seems like some timing issue or something.

    Nice board when it works, but hardly ever works. I've read a lot of the other posts in this forum with people troubleshooting their cards and different things to try. But with a single A1200 I'm about out of things to troubleshoot.

  • MK3 AGA question

    What identifies the warranty ID? I see a "WARRANTY" sticker on the same side that just says &T&0/ but I checked online and other pictures seem to have the same thing. When I scan the QR code it actually says "#p&T&0/"

    The QR on the other side scans as 20239028_20190510_00170_PD2320

    It appears a part may have fallen off of my MK3. Not sure how or when. I'm capable of putting it back on (and probably voiding my warranty). But, I need to know the value.

    I'm assuming it's a capacitor, but it's not really marked. It's on the bottom nere the words "Indivision AGA MK3". There you'll see a C51 with a capacitor above it. The part that is missing is above that. I'm assuming it was also a capacitor based on other images I've seen on the internet. But I don't know what part that would be, I don't see anything in the silkscreen that refers to that part. Around it is L11, L13, L12, R19 and C51. I'm looking for the part on top of what I believe is C51. The part towards the edge of the card above C51.

    If I know the value, I could easily replace it myself. But I just need to know what value. It appears it's a capacitor, size 0805. But what is the value?


    Thanks.
