  • Black screen after installing ACA1221ec

    Quote from SpocksBeer

    Just to update, turns out my issue was the same as Moff's problem - choking on the LoadModule scsi.device part of startup-sequence. Finally got a keyboard, so was able to flash to the newer version of the ACA1221ec software. This fixed my issue.

    Good to here that it worked for you to! I decided to install the latest version of AmigaOS, 3.1.4 using these two tutorials:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3328&v=H6PZm80rgTE


    Everything worked fine except that the machine didn't boot up without holding the left mouse key during startup. I got the error message "MapRom already active, exiting!". Even when I had installed the latest ACA1221ec software the problem existed. To solve it I had to comment out the following row in my startup-sequence: C:LoadModule ROMUPDATE.


    Just in case you, or anyone else, decides to install AmigaOS 3.1.4 with ACA1221ec and get the same error message.

  • Black screen after installing ACA1221ec

    Thanks for all the suggestions and tips! It's working now. This is what I did to make it work.


    I first tried to clean the connector with isopropanol, it didn't work.

    Moved the jumper to parking position and unprotected mode, it didn't work.


    Took the Amiga to the Swedish Amiga club(SUGA) and had the capacitors E121C, E122C, E123C and E125C removed. This didn't work either.


    Then we booted into early startup control and checked the "expansion board diagnostics" and could see that the card was inserted and working.


    The we looked in the startup-sequence file and there we commented out the following rows, the first section in the file. Under IF EXIST DEVS:scsi.device:

    C:LoadModule DEVS:scsi.device LIBS:icon.library

    and

    C:LoadModule LIBS:icon.library


    And now the machine boots into workbench and the cards is working!


    Don't know why this work but it does and I hope that this will help others with the same problem.

  • Black screen after installing ACA1221ec

    Hi!


    I bought an ACA1221ec card last Friday and when I insert the card in my Amiga 1200 it doesn't boot up. The screen just goes black. I've tried with the jumper of as well but with no luck. I'm using kickstart rom 3.1.


    Can someone please help me?
