What chip controls the workbench? My problem is any clicks on a workbench screen freezes the whole system. Running applications from CLI is fine, but some of them use workbench screens in the program, so back to square one. If I knew which chip to replace, I'd fix it. 🙂

Try the 8520's Bill. They get blamed for everything, but they do cause a lot of different symptoms. I once had a "Twilight Zone" failure where the clock was stuck between the same 29 seconds. 🙂 I've also seen a bad 8520 cause the system to lock on the Workbench when you clicked on an icon. There's 2 8520's in there, so I'd suggest swapping them & see if the problem moves. It would probably move to the printer. -Jim MOS via Autopilot & Amiga
