Amiga 500 power led failure

Gavilan · 03 November 2005, 17:21

Well, here i have a simple problem, but i cannot figure out whats wrong
I was playing around with one of my A500 until suddenly red power led doesnt work anymore.
Yellow disk drive led works normally, so i tought some loose cable or something was the cause. I looked around , no answers at all.

What could have happened?

Cheers

Sebastian

I'm rebuilding an A1200Desktop setup (a sold one) and the power LED didn't work as well. After resoldering the LED pins everything works perfectly again. Try pushing on the LED with a finger, and if it lights up by doing so, a resolder should do the trick.

@DoctorQ : you mean resoldering on the other side of the A500 mobo?? Becasue i checked and everything seemed to be in their place... Other than that, i guess that maybe its a common "fault", since i took that machine to a friend´s house...
Anyway, thanks for idea, maybe a resoldering wont harm anything, right?

Cheers!

Only a resolder of the LED pins on the keyboard.
