Amiga 500 yellow screen

[DetFedeSvin]

I have an Amiga 500, Rev 6A, with yellow screen. I have tested all the custom chips, the CPU, u10, u11, u12, u13, u34, 35, and the ram chips in another A500 where they are working without any issues. Furthermore, I have swapped the custom chips’ single sided sockets for machined sockets. All the CPU’s lines is checked.

When removing a ram chip, the screen changes to green.


When swapping the Kickstart rom to DiagROM, the check halts when checking the raster.


DiagROM serial output:


Amiga DiagROM V1.2 - 13-Aug-19 - By John (Chucky/The Gang) Hertell


Testing if serial loopbackadapter is installed: <> NOT DETECTED
- Parallel Code $ff - Start of ROM, CPU Seems somewhat alive

Any ideas on where to look next?

Adrian's Digital Basement released this video recently.

Green screen, but similar problems. DiagROM passed the memory test but failed on the working raster check.

It turned out to be the RAM.

Could be the ram, however I have checked all the custom and ram chips in another Amiga. Where they are working. Can it be a passive component?

Yellow Screen can be Keyboard Problem about PCB on the A500 Keyboard. and or Memory expansion

Remove You Keyboard and try it again.

It can be addition memory card too ... remove it too and retry.

otherwise read this too :

Unfortunately the there are no change if a keyboard or a memory expansion are connected/removed.
