RobSmithDev | Poor Broken and Battered Amiga A2000 - Can We Fix it? @RobSmithDev | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
I was lucky to receive an Amiga 2000 for my birthday. It doesn't work however, but not to worry, that just makes it more fun! In this video we're going to take a look at it, understand a little about it, and attempt to fix the fault. Spoiler: Surprisingly, it wasn't the battery! And I don't think that was the original either.
