Quote: This is a great idea
I think we should put this as a side feature if you are willing to run it.
either via a seperate heading on the left or via its own forum.
Well done!

Yup, wonderful idea. And maybe collect it into a FAQ list, Q and A stuff? Should be handy, better than going throuyght the thread for final solutions/workaround... And even call it "AOS4 Knowldgebase" or smthng? Jack

Hopefully we can get ACK back into these forums as well so you don't have to ask me the questions next time.
These are news. Crossing fingers for Adam (and for the mobo getting in one piece from France:) ) Is it smell of modules in the air or what? Jack

I like it! Especially the anti-trolling part (just try to visit AW.net threads these days ) Just keep this place clean and remember this: if one throws dirt on someone else he might get his hands dirty as well...Jack

Periodic refresh of the home page (5 or even 10 minutes will do) would be great.

@Rudei Quote: I know Swisso (Raoul - excuse spelling) was looking at Freescale replacement CPUs, even got some samples from them I thought?
You might want to try seeing if he managed to get anywhere with his idea?
Sure. I am currently trying to get some quotes from surpluss resellers. Maybe he can share experience. You say he got them from Freescale? When? Where? Is it his nickname here? Big thanks, Jack

@Jacques Quote: I'm also waiting for a CPU module replacement.
I assume that your is broken. If so: Welcome to the club Do you want to the cpu replacement to be performed on the existing module if nothing turns up in near future? (just collecting info for the scenario where a batch of CPUs is cheapier/easier to get than single CPU) Jack

@poweramiga Quote: here,s hoping its fixable and quickly
Thanks @all A bit on prices (per CPU, very fresh info): removal and placement of CPU at rework station (in US): 85US$ placement only: 55US$ Now the missing piece is the price of the CPU(querying the XPC7455RX933PC one) Jack.

Probably a cosmetic one: "Headlines" link name reads "Headlines0" here.

@Bean It was diagnozed @AmigaCenter/France. Afair it is the most ``official' repair place for A1. I got lots of good recomendations from ppl @ aw.net and even Eyetech when they were up told me to send it there. Anyway, the cpu is removed from the module now and the whole bunch of dead A1 pieces is heading back here these days (I expect some issues with the customs, they've got some silly combination of old british+turkish laws with some modern ones. For example: if one sends an item to be fixed abroad and receives the same part number with different serial number, import taxes apply to it again Really stupid imho. Jack

@Raziel Quote: Welcome jack...
Thanks for the invitation It's really a cool place here for an amigan, no fame wars and quarrels so far... Let it stay that way. Quote: to stay up-to-date, i'll be in, really looking forward to some good news Hope you can gather some more...
Doing my best. My fingers ache from writing those e-mails and googleing. Now hoping that my mobo,while it is being shipped back from France, won't receive the same treatment as your module got... Jack

Trying to fix A1 CPU module

Hi all,
I'm dragging this one from AW.net (a bit more up-to-date and hopefully more coherent):
<b>Introduction</b> The short story behind this post: My cpu is broken and celebrated a year of waiting for replacement. Before that AmigaOne was my main (solely used)computer. For a while I managed get along with my trusty old A1200 but besides being an X11 terminal (browser/email) and music player it is not a solution anymore. After realizing that a whole year passed I got sick of waiting for A1 cpu modules to materialise (too many false hopes and silences in Amiga scene).
The fact is that I'm not the only one with same problem so it would be cheapier to obtain modules in quantities bigger than one and to find someone to perform the fix. I desided to stop waiting before the idle hardware becomes ancient and to do some research before starting to push things around. Some research was done without use of public forum and ( imho) at this stage this forum is the right place to go to.
<b>The plan</b> The plan is to desolder the old cpu and resolder a new one. This requires that the daughterboard is intact and only the cpu is broken. The cpus can be obtained and I am currently trying to contact a reseller (the have XPC7455RX933PC model, that is one of the models that came with A1s).
Replacing the CPU can be done in "comercial" rework facilities (I am currently checking some) or at home using hot air gun or other means (imho, less preferable option due to lower quality of equipment etc.). An extensive description of DIY process of CPU replacement was kindly provided by Ole-Egil and Jean-Jacques from AmigaCenter. Note that, afaik, no home-made reeoldering of A1 CPU was performed so far. This seems to be last resort.
This thread is targeted mainly towards potential performers of the replacement and owners of modules with broken cpus who wish to fix them. Potential demand might attract skilled people capable of performing the task skill- and equipment-wise.
If you own a broken cpu module, have any comments (hopefully constructive) please post here, or PM/e-mail me.
TIA, Jack
