Amiga 500+ freezes after clicking on icons
Hi!
At first I want to say hello to everyone from forum. I'm new here but my adventure with Amiga starterd in 1999 when I bought A1200 and Quantum 80mb HDD and 4mb fast with 020/28Mhz card. After about 10 years I sold my retro collection and don't think about it so that these days, when I became happy owner of two Amiga 500 plus. One of them is working exellence, but with second I have a problem. It is rev.8a mobo with 2.05 Kickstart, Rtc and battery was changed to Lithium Cr2032. Mobo has 2mb Chip Ram (8 chips soldered over 8 standard chips). When I turn it on, everything is OK until I insert disk with WB and after I open Df0: Window and click on any program's icon, sometimes nothing happens. If I now click on Close window button, system freezes and I must reinsert disk. After this Amiga start to load program automatically. It not occurs when I click on drawers icon, only programs. I check mobo with two other floppys, exchange both CIA, Paula, Gary, Agnus, CPU, ROM, Denise from my working A500plus with the same result. Yesterday I recap mobo with new electrolityc caps. Amiga still freeze. I don't see any damaged tracks or vias, RTC is working good Maybe someone have any suggestions what can I check, because I have no idea what is wrong. Thanks Chris |

Hi,
I am guessing bad ram, get yourself a memcheck program and run it to see if it reports any errors, let it loop for a while to see what happens once the chips warm up, touch the top of the ram chips to see if one is unusually hotter than the other. |
