Amiga Tower right angled adapter problems

adgloride · 23 October 2006, 18:17

I have two towers and was having a problem with one of them the sound wasn't working properly so I decided to switch. The other tower didn't have a right angled adapter in it so I decided to swap it with the one in the other tower. Without removing the amiga mobo the adapter would not fit so I decided to file it down to fit it easily. Now it won't work all I get is a device opening error even though the light on my netgear wireless card is on.

When filing I don't think I damaged anything on the board. Anyone got any ideas why it isn't working? If I've damaged it is their a cheap place to buy one, I've seen them but as usual since its amiga hardware they want fancy prices for them.

Concidering how easy it it to damage the pcmcia port and especially the adaptor id say its a sure thing that its damaged.

would have been so much easier to just take the motherboard out im sure.

I have a power tower with ppc and mediator attached and the whole lot just lifts out on the backplate

Its not exactly a modification. All I did was file some of the board off so it would fit. As far as I know I've not touched anything on the board that was critical to it working.

what do you mean by filing ? did you cut the board

as far as I know, a1200 mobo is a multilayer pcb, meaning there might be tracks underneath even though you can't see them from the surface.
