CyberStorm PPC doesn’t work

16 October 2005, 12:29

Hello everybody.

I’ve a big trouble; my CyberStorm PPC doesn’t work anymore. When I power up the computer the screen remains dark with no computer activity. I be tried to change the memory and the 68060 CPU but nothing occurs. Using a 3640 everything works fine, but it’s not the same and of course no PPC support.

Does anyone an idea about where can I send it for repair?

Thank you in advance.

Best place would be amigacenter in France, he doesn't charge you anything for testing it and his service is great!

http://www.amigacenter.com/

Just email him first and tell him you are sending your card.

Just checking, have you tried turning the Amiga on, waiting for 5 seconds then reset? I had that problem but I also had a dry joint problem which I repaired, I would not advise it as you need an SMD soldering iron and a very steady hand

Hope JJ can fix it, I doubt he can repair it if the PPC socket is kaputt...he couldn't fix a DCE CS PPC board I sent to him but he fixed the '060 side so now I have a CS PPC which can be used as if it was a CS MKIII

I dont think there were every any CSPPC with PPC sockets, they were all surface mount BGA's?
