TF530 hot ram no boot

Post by ICRY »

Hello just wondering I got my Amiga back out had some TF530 that just worked appropriately a year or so ago now one of them, no boot and one of the ram ic gets hot than the sun, any ideas where to start looking, the only thing I can think is a short.... but is it the ram cpld, there where no shorts a year or so ago as it worked fine for months on end.

Remove the offending ram chip and replace. It has gone to a better place.
