- This is a re-post of a continuing problem...
-
- Please, has anyone ever had a Amiga 3000 that shorts out the power supply?
- This is a 16MHz 3000, made in Hong Kong, Rev 7.12 (at least it LOOKS like 7.12)
- motherboard.
- After removing ALL the socketed chips and ALL devices that can plug into a 3000, the
- power supply (and I tested with more than one different power supplies!) still goes
- into thermal shutdown when plugged into the motherboard. I even tried with and
- without the (Tee) daughterboard.
- No visible shorts, no trauma, no strange jumper settings, no solder blobs, nothing
- unusual-looking on the motherboard. Frustration. :|
-
-
- Also got a GVP530Turbo that just WILL NOT write to any SCSI device attached to it.
- Tried this on other A500's, used 2.04 and 3.1 ROMs, different hard drives and
- terminations, tried another ROM on the 530, jumpers were rechecked and are set
- correctly, all to no avail.
-
-
- Any ideas at all are still highly appreciated, please EMail me if possible.
-
- If you've had this happen, know why it might, or can suggest troubleshooting hints:
- Please, please contact me and maybe leave a thread too.

- Thanks, Ciao!
