Tired... of Indivision AGA :( - Page 3

8bitbubsy · 06 October 2009, 23:13

I'll ask here as I feel this thread is somehow relevant:
Sometimes when I boot my Amiga 1200 the Indivision boot pic is getting garbaged... The video pic is still wonderful and smooth in Workbench etc. Only the boot pic is getting garbaged!
I've tried to seat the indy with all my force (CBM Lisa chip), still no change! What should I do? Reflash it?
It's not that much of a deal, but I want it to show the pic how it's supposed to be shown.

Ignore it, its fine. Dont mess with your indivision as its working (If it aint broke, dont fix it).

Its to do with the new core. Ive yet to report it (forgot about it,

).

I noticed it while flashing 10+ Indivisions to latest core.

Yes, I have output, even I have got good output and even I see the Indivision logo, so I think my unit is faulty. No problem, Vesalia (like Amigakit) is a serious shop, I will contact them tomorrow.

A few possibilities:

A600 PSU is pretty weak for an expanded A1200... I'd definitely try a better one.

Even with a good PSU, you might need additional juice connected to the floppy power connector. With the Indi connected, I get all kinds of weird screen corruption and crashes if I don't.

If your motherboard is an older C= manufactured one, the caps need to be replaced.

Could this at amigans.net help anyhow?

No, completely different issue.

Thankfully, no damage was done and his machine + Indivision are working fine.

Do you think it could be really a PSU related problem?

I ran my system (Indivision AGA, CF card hard drive, and Ide-Fix / Express, M 1230 XA or my Mtec Viper) on a stock A600 PSU at 5V 3 Amps and never had any issues. I was worried about it and upgraded to an A500 PSU at 5V at 4.5 Amps just to be safe.

An A600/1200 standard PSU is too limited in term if power. I use an A500 PSU to be quiet.

Best to get it tested. If its tested all ok, then it has to be a problem your end. Pointless, going into a debate until your Indivision is tested by vesalia.

Xenon · 23 December 2009, 12:28

Hey! Finally, yes, it was a Indivision problem. Now Vesalia has sent me my Indivision working

, so I will tell you next days my experience

I have a rev 2B too, and have a look at my screen

!

How Vesalia fix your Indivision, Xenon ?

And how to get an answer from Vesalia or Jens ?

Xenon · 23 December 2009, 20:18

They replied me to my email and to my letter (package)...

"One of the pins in the socket was badly bent inwards so it did not make good contact.
We have fixed this, now the Indivision works flawlessly and is properly recognized by the software."

@Cosmos
if that only happens in boot screen, maybe its normal like FOL said above

Ah, the pic posted is not normal. I was refering to the Individual Computers logo. On some boots its corrupt and others its fine. However the screen (i.e. Kickstart, workbench, games) was ok.

Maybe a corrupt flash? have you tried reflashing it?
