#Dumb, and …..
Help!
By mistake, I plugged a PC serial trackball into the mouse port and now have
lost the mouse functions on my A2500 (Rev 6.2) – I'm well aware that that will
blow out the chip controlling the mouse.
My questions:
What chips need replacing?
Are they soldered in or can they be pulled and replaced?
Where can I get them?
As a side note, the reason I had a PC trackball around was because my old
MicroSpeed trackball was getting very rough. At a discount office supply I saw
an exact same model PC Trackball and bought it. I changed the ball and all the
rollers over to my Amiga model and had essentially a new trackball except for
the circuit board.
THAT worked fine – but I had both trackballs and their cords hanging around and
I, of course, had to plug the PC model in without thinking.
Moral: After changing the guts, get rid of the PC.
Thanks in advance.
