Hello friends!
My name is Henning, and I am a 40 year old Norwegian male. I am new to this forum, but not new to Amiga. I had a lot of fun with my A500 and various expansions and pheripals from 1988 to christmas of 1996, when sadly the « magic smoke » escaped, and it stopped working.
From 1997 and onwards I’ve mainly been a PC/Windows user, and mostly for « serious » stuff such as school/work, and for playing games I’ve had all the various Xbox-versions.
For the past couple of years, I’ve been slowly coming back to dabbling with the Amiga as pasttime, and finally I am getting to experience some the cool things I read about back in the day, but never had access to, such as the CDTV, A1200/AGA and lately the CD32.
For the time being I am trying to get my original A500 (rev 5, red leds, KS1.2) back in shape and running with the VXL-030 I used originally, and I am also trying to collect some (A500) peripherals, mainly from Commodore. My second project is building a small software library for a CD32 I purchased earlier this year.
Welcome man !
Mod Welcome again!
For your A500, try to describe here what symptoms it faces, maybe we can help even if we are relatively far from you 🙂
Regarding your CD32, if not done yet, you’ll need to think about replacing all the caps (capacitors) in it if you would like to enjoy your console for a longer time. Those caps tend to leak and destroy copper tracks on the motherboard.
Only AMIGA makes it possible !
Just last week I sent my two NOS A1200’s and the CD32 to a professional recapper (well, retro electronics repair guy, really, who’s done hundreds of Amigas), so that part is taken care of.
As for the A500, I’ll get back to you when I find the time to test it again. I had it working briefly for a little while, both with the VXL and without, but the last time I removed the vxl and put the 68k back it just seemed completely dead, nothing happened at all when trying to power it on.

@Durniplot : welcome abroad ! Have you received my little parcel with CD32 games (with a modern fox stamp) ?Thanks!
No, the parcel hasn’t arrived yet. Everything shipped from outside Norway is slooooow to arrive, almost always. Probably stuck in customs review still. I tend to blame this on Norway being proper EU members, only sort of associated, but I don’t know, really.
Waiting for the postal services sucks 🙂
