#Amiga 2000 Video Problem
I'm having a problem with the video hardware on my Amiga 2000 and
I'm wondering if anyone out there can give me a hand.
When my 1084S monitor is plugged directly into the machine everything
looks fine, but recently I started having a problem trying to use a
Digital Creations Super Gen. The image on both the 1084S and the video
output from the Super Gen is unusable. It looks like a tv set with the
horizontal control out of whack, lots of white diagonal lines on a
black background. I had the Super Gen checked out and it is okay, it
works fine with another 2000, and a different SuperGen has the same
problem on my machine. The output from the Monochrome Video port on
the 2000 is fine, and as I said the monitor connected directly to the
2000 is okay, so I assume there is a problem somewhere on my motherboard.
So I have a couple of questions:
1.) Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any suggestions as to what may
be wrong, and how I might fix it. I've opened the box up, checked the
connections and the seating of all chips. Nothing appears to be
broken.
2.) If I need to replace the motherboard, can I get one from somewhere,
preferably as a swap for a reasonable price, are there places that
deal in Amiga parts, and if so how can I reach them?
3.) Does anyone know of any service places in the Boston area that might
be able to help me out? All the dealers and service places that I
knew of seemed to be out of business.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
