Amiga 600 Video Issues

Zerotech · 20 January 2015, 08:29

Recently I have powered up my Amiga 600 and I seem to get video issues with both AV and RF.

The screen will either give the wrong colour or it blinks or flickers, does anyone know what I can do about it?

All I can do is buy av cables with gold plated contacts to see if that works or not and if it doesn't I suspect it could be the jacks or an issue with the board which might need repairing.

Could anyone help me shed some light over what i can do about it? Thanks.

OK After Investigating the internal of the machine I found the culprit, it was that hard drive caddy that was overheating the chips next to it so I removed it and the picture quality is so much better now. But some of the games I play the colours looked washed out and some are in a different colour when i tried to record it on my camcorder.
