- I own an old A1200 with Microbotics 50Mhz 1230XA accelerator, 3.5 inch
- Quantum Trailblazer Hard Disk (850Mb), and a Power Computing HD floppy.
-
- Last time I used it, the screen blanked and the power light flashed on
- and off. Assuming it was a loose connection, I powered down and checked
- connections - no problems, but now when I power up the hard disk spins up
- and reads a little as normal and the caps lock on the keyboard flashes as
- usual, but the machine doesn`t boot and I'm left with a black screen.
-
- Any ideas on what's wrong, or has anybody had any similar experiences?
- Failing that, can anyone recommend a reliable, *cheap* repair company in
- the UK?
-
- Thanks,
