Indivision AGA Mk2 stopped working

[Crawff]

Hi,

I installed my Indivision AGA Mk2 a while ago and everything was working perfect.

I modified the RF shield, brought a brand new DVI cable and connected it to my Samsung HD TV.

Anyway...it has been a few weeks since i last booted her up and today i decided to play a few games but not all is well.

When i switch her on, the CF card is booting up but there is no picture on my TV. nothing at all.

If i unplug the DVI cable from the TV or 1200 then a message will display advising that no signal in range.

If i try connect just the RF cable then i do get a picture but there is noise from the 1200 and also the picture is not what it should be (even for RF)

I checked that the all the cables are connected properly but nothing.

Any ideas what could be the cause?

I also used the TV recently for my PC using the VGA port but i don't think this would cause the problem? No other leads are currently connected.

hi try removing the indy from the mobo and reseating

[Crawff]

I did consider that, but when i install originally it clicked in perfectly and worked first time.

I haven't moved the amiga at all and it seems to be seated nicely.

Is it possible that it would require re-seating even though it hasn't been used much or even moved?

[johnim]

no idea mate but thats what i would do

have you a scart cable or phono cable you could try

[Crawff]

well i have re-seated it but it has made no difference :-(

[johnim]

have you tried resetting or autosetting tv on dvi input

[magnetic]

Do you get output on comp out or RGB out? Can you get the early startup screen? Have you tried booting from WB floppy?

Why dont you contact the dealer who sold it to you. These things ARE warrantied.

[Crawff]

There doesn't appear to be any option to perform that task on the TV

[johnim]

ok have you a dvi to vga adapter to try vga

also as me and magnetic have said can you try composit yellow connector oand or rgb to scart

to see if the amiga gives any output

also what psu have you got and do you have any extra ram or processor upgrade

[Crawff]

Thanks for your suggestions johnim.

I only have RF output to test with.

[Crawff]

I have a blizzard 030 -50hz, 4GB CF Card.

Standard A1200 PSU.

[johnim]

have you tried the rf out without the indy connected just to see if any output

[Crawff]

Its just scanning now...but nothing tuned in so far...

You really need another TV monitor to test we cannot help diagnose blind man

[johnim]

you may be able to use the rf lead as a compisit cable yellow on tv next to red/white same on miggy

[Crawff]

I know sorry, i was just seeing if anyone had a similar experience with there indy mk2.

The RF works fine without the indy connected so i would assume all is well with the a1200.

I do believe you have the same problem as me. http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=64629

I do have a Samsung Hd Tv too (Samsung FX2490HD 24"). Try with another Tv, I didn't.

I don't want to tell what I would think if you get it working in a different Tv now, but I don't have an idea of electronics.

[johnim]

hi again i have an indy2 and have a fan on mine as it gets hot and i use no rf sheild ,but i have a fastata over mine and a hardrive but have had no problems other than graphics glitches before fan.

also use a converted pc psu with blizard 1230mk iv

[ptyerman]

It could definitely be a power problem too with running a Blizzard and Indivision off a standard A1200 PSU.

There should be a composite input on that TV, try that instead of RF.

BTW my RF modulator is in the bin next to the upper RF shield....best place for it
