Laner Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) I've got an A600 with a wonky audio channel. I took a look at the caps and they all appear intact, but beyond that I have no idea what might be wrong. I see that Amigakit offers a repair service, but that would mean shipping it overseas. There's also a guy (Chicago-based) on ebay with a 100% rating who provides these services, but after the whole Swampfox debacle I'm hesitant to ship my stuff to someone I don't know from Adam*. Any recommendations? TIA**. -- *The biblical figure, not the Coleco home computer. ** Thanks In Advance, not the 2600 component. (Sometimes I think I'm in too deep...)

carlsson Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Not that it helps you, but I think if you find anyone in your local area confident in doing surface mount soldering work, they would be able to order the required caps and do the job by just following instructions, not required to have any real Amiga experience from before. A lot of people have changed the caps, even I considered doing it for a while but didn't get to it as the 600 I borrowed seemed to have working sound most of the time. Eventually I'll have to though.

+OLD CS1 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I have no personal experience with him except I have been threatening to send him my 1200 since July, but he has a good rep on Amiga.org as Acill. He is not taking orders right now, per his web page. https://squareup.com/store/paul-r-rezendes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kremlar Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Scull is great. Replaced all the caps on my 1200 and 4000T. My 4000T had an audio issue due to failing caps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
