Hi All,
I've just rescued my old Amiga systems from the loft and glad to see the A500 boots and works well... no such luck for my A600!!
On boot:
Caps Lock light stays on
TV shows black screen with faint vertical grey lines
I've tested the RGB to scart cable on my A500 and it works well. One thing I did notice was that the 3.1 rom has fewer pins than the socket (1 row too short). I can't remember if I ever got the ROM working before it went up into the loft and I think I remember the instructions indicating that the lack of pins was OK.
I've tried:
Re-seating my kickstart ROM (it's a 3.1 which I bought from AmigaKit a few years ago)
Detached my IDE drive
Detatched the A601 memory expansion
All have no effect.
I also found a site indication that removing a capacitor may have some effect. The site can be found by Googling: "amiga 600 capslock stays on" first link (don't have enough posts to add links sorry)
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks
