Wierd A-500 problems
3 messages in this thread
I've got a few wierd problems.
First, my battery backed up clock won't back up the time/date (and I've
checked the battery and it's fully charged)
Second, my keyboard keeps freezing up on me. (ie it'll lock up while I'm
typing, or the CAPS LOCK light will either flash or stay lit)
Are these problems related? Could it by my GARY chip as I suspect?
Please help!

I had a CAPS LOCK key flashing on me, and it turned out to be related to a
bad Agnus chip. Run, don't walk to your nearest service rep and let him
check it out. As to your clock, don't have the foggiest.

I'd like to avoid hitting the shop if at all possible.
The last time I had a problem with my computer, it was two burnt out 8520
(CIA) chips. I paid over $120 in repair costs, while the chips cost less
than $30 total. The Agnus can cost $90, and I can only imagine what
they'll tack on in "labor" charges.
I recently zapped the CIA chips again, and took the smart route and did it
myself. I'd *much* rather replace/repair the problem myself. Times are
tough y'know.
