G'day, >> I'll never forget that day walking into a smoke filled room with the >> 3000's fan running half speed and the power LED dim… Ouch. I know that feeling (not as expensive though). Plug in…. *POP* …Please let that have been a screw landing on the floor….. Smoke gently wafts in the breeze… Become a blubbering mess in the corner 🙂 . >> The rest of the system still ran perfect after I removed the charred >> remains of a Toaster (which Newtek replaced lickedy split). Those Amigas are tough, no doubt about it! I saved up hard and bought an A2000. I got it home and preceeded to install a ROM switcher, but when I was putting it all back together I plugged the power connectors into the wrong pins (shifted up 1 or 2 pins). I turned the power on……nothing, My brand new Amiga was dead. Swearing profusely 🙂 I opened it up and put the connectors onto the right pins and bingo, 1 fully operational Amiga, no worse for wear.
