English Amiga Board - View Single Post

Hello, maybe someone can help me with this:

I have an AmigaCD32 (Rev 3 board) .
I got it cheap from "EB".

When I turn it on, i starts the game/music cd and after one minute, two minutes sometimes even after 30 seconds, the display goes completely crazy, don't know how to explain so see attached images.
The game or music cd however goes on because i can hear the sound effects or music, so It's just a graphic problem.

Just for info: I changed the laser unit into a compatible newer one
and I also changed the two "famus" capacitors, as they were very old and faulty.
But the problem still persists.

The rest of the mainboard doesn't show any signs of corrosion etc. all components are clean and all solder points are solid.

I tried with several different CD types (Sony, Verbatim, TDK, even cinese noname) , burned ones and original as with music cds.

Anyone has ever seen such a problem?
