The CD32 I bought my kids last April will no longer power on. My kids swear they haven't spilled anything on it, dropped it, etc. The dealer of course is willing to troubleshoot it for high bucks per hour but say they have no parts availability. So I ask the following: 1). Does anybody have any ideas of simple things that might be wrong that I could check? 2). Do any other model Amiga power supplies (e.g. A500, A2000, A3000) work with a CD32 to check to see if it is a power supply problem? 3). Does anyone know of anywhere that does have parts that might could repair it–a mail-in repair center? 4). Failing the above, any ideas of any use I could put it to besides a bookend or paper weight?

I suggest you see if anyone here on CIS with a CD32 lives close enough to you to try their supply (I have a CD32 but have no idea where you live). You can also try Micro R&D, they have supplies for all the other Amiga models, their number is 308-745-1243. I highly recommend them. Jim R.

Jim Thanks for you reply concerning the CD32 problem I'm having. I'm in the Fort Worth,TX area and don't know anyone with a CD32, but could probably find someone on the User Group Bulletin Board. Will check that out. I will also call Micro R&D tomorrow to see if they have supplies. Thanks again for the help Michael Strain
