CRG | Fixing, breaking and fixing an Amiga 600 @CRG | Uploaded October 2023 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
When one of my patrons reached out on the CRG discord to say he was having trouble with his Amiga 600, I offered to fix it. Just showing a black screen and sporting some additional holes in the bottom of the case this A600 has obviously been through a hard life. I unfortunately add to its suffering through some accidental damage but by the end can we get this old computer working?
