Well done! At last!

Also congrats on probably making it into the Guinness book of records for the most complex Amiga 500 fault! :lol:

Im pretty sure that normally they are never that troublesome.

I second that as a person who likes to fix Amiga's.. :lol:

Well done, @rubber_jonnie !

Haha, so the Amiga had to throw one last curveball at me...

I was giving it a test over the weekend and I noticed when I moved the mouse I got vertical lines across the screen and they seemed to ripple with the mouse movement. I hadn't had the mouse plugged in previously.

Since I'd socketed the RAM and fitted the IDE and RGB2HDMI mods, I'd left the top shield off as it wouldn't fit, and it seemed there was some interaction between the mouse input, the metal baseplate of the keyboard and the RAM.

Thankfully easily fixed with a couple of layers of insulation tape on the bottom of the keyboard where it is in close proximity to the RAM :)

All good now.

Your Amiga is very playful,,,

I'm not sure 'playful' is the word I'd choose, but it's getting another burn in with everything connected, so mouse, joystick and so far it's behaving...

:dizzy:

Is it fixed once you added everything back in and reassembled it?

That is usually where the wheels come off my wagon with my A4000... working fine until I put the lid back on
