CRG | Two Amiga SICK-hundreds. PART 1 - testing and repair of the first one. @CRG | Uploaded January 2023 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Two rather sickly Amiga 600’s have landed on the bench this week, one I bought spares or repairs the other was sent in for a recap but as we soon discover when testing its got a sick floppy drive and the case needs a little attention too.
Part 1 looks at the Amiga that was sent in for work, it needs to be returned so lets do that first.
If you need your Amiga recapped in the UK I recommend - retropassion.co.uk
But if you fancy doing it yourself here is a list of the caps required (for all models) - https://www.ikod.se/repairs/capacitor-lists
