Got an Amiga 600 on my bench. It had some problems:
- Needed recap and leakage damage control (ultrasonic cleaning)
- Audio not working, it made some sounds but not the sound we should expect
- IDE not working
I performed a recap and ultrasonic cleaning.
The board before cleaning:
The board after the cleaning
Audio is fixed by replacing the OPAMP LF3457.
And now the IDE part… I removed the IDE connector (header), because the problem is very often one of the traces under the ide header. In this case it also was a trace which was broken, see picture below:
To fix this I use a piece of thin wire which I put into the hole with the problem trace.
Next I place a new header (connector) on the board and solder some pins to fixate the new connector. Then I solder the wire and the pin and solder the wire on the top side of the board to the trace, see pictures below:
Testing testing…
And job is finished… 🙂
