Hi,

My V2 no boot only gren lead on board shines,sometimes it sounds crappy.

I purchased a usb-blaster needs only .jed file.

I do not know I have to record a video, as my V2 keeps on acknowledging.

Everything started when I tested myself ArcEm, the first artefacts came out on DIGITAL-VIDEO. Later Amiga did not want to get up from the RTG just for ECS.

I have GOLD2 and SAGA 12.

I bought a preorder on AmiBAY

- From WHOM did you buy the card?

AMIGA 600 has generally the challenge with the connector.
Most problem on A600 come with bad connection or card becoming loose.

What Screenmode do you use?

1280 720 something like that. I do not remember now.
   
    "From WHOM did you buy the card?"
   
    I bought myself, sign up for the order that I waited a year, and got V2
   
    "AMIGA 600 has generally the challenge with the connector.

    I know but I thought first change firmware and how it will not help, change socket
 
 
  If you have an AmiBay account I can write You PM. From the account I bought the card
 
  This is my monitor

Generally amiga did not want to get up after GURU, so socket could be in the background

No! never change the socket.
Never solder on the vampire!

What I was talking about is removing and re-seating the card.

You card is fixed with screws?

From WHOM you bought means.
WHO did sell it to you. The name of the seller?

1280x720 is very high resolution.
How does the card run with e.g 640x480 ?
Do you see there a difference?

Im buy from MAJSTA on Pre order
 

"You card is fixed with screws?"

Yes

V2 now does not get up.

Video recording because the language barrier is too large. I'll do it later.

See You.

Yhy:(
 
  But let's wait for the same thing Gunnar von Boehn
 
  Because they are not symptoms of damaged mobo
 
  I have only one A600
 
 
  Would it be possible to mount the 600V2 on the ACA-500 there is the same CPU as the A600

So like this

can you post high res images of the CPU, the PLCC-68 socket on the vampire and a profile picture showing it connected.

When you connected the vampire did you use the M2 screws \ nuts and have the 600 board on a flat surface and not in the metal shielding. 

As for ACA-500 no idea.

  At the last photo it looks like your connecting card has a bit
  damaged socket?

  It also does not have a mandatory fixing, as shown in Dans video.

The socket looks like you've taken a grinder to it.  It's pretty obvious that it's the problem.
