English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Problem with my Amiga 500 (Yellow Screen, Reboot)

souls · 13 January 2012, 11:01

Hi,

recently i purchased an Amiga 500 from ebay (Kickrom 1.3, 512KB Ram). I already have an Amiga (also 500) with Kickrom 1.2.
However, the "new" has some issues. Some games/programs work as expected. Others however lead to a yellow screen and reboot while loading.

I have made a short video that illustrates the problem (watch the LEDs).

I have already opened the amiga and checked for leaking parts, checked if some chips are loose, etc. Everything seems to be alright. There is one thing i noticed, when starting the workbench i get the notification: "no battery backed up clock has been found".
I thought that simply the battery is empty and that time settings are messed up. Could this be a part of the yellow screen problem?

Any help is appreciated! I really want to get this little box to run!

thanks
