GVP '030 Combo Solution

Loedown · 08 May 2009, 13:32

Greetings,
I'd been having some issues with my Amiga not starting up properly, which had slowly been getting worse over time.

Symptoms: Random odd Guru messages, HDD light coming on and staying on, with no clear activity from HDD, problems from both cold and warm start.

Solution: Resolder all custom through pin chips, especially the EPROM, problem was most likely caused by a fuzzy data or address line. For anyone unsure what through pin is, anything that's not surface mount that has pins going through the board and soldered to the other side.
