- HARDWARE HACKERS GUIDE (PART3)
- --------------------------------------
- After writing ( anyone reading? ) my
- two previous articles ( in SN 5. ). I
- tought that it's high time to say some
- Wise Words of WARNING!! Nothing really
- special, but someone might need some
- advice to prevent him destroying his
- computer. I understand that there are
- really few hardware type Amiganians,
- but sooner or later you have to open
- your Amiga and make some small, quick
- fixes.
- There is always light possibility to
- screw things up in computer, while
- doing this kind of hard-work (? ? ?).
- But If you are lucky and careful
- enough it is safe to examine your
- compuers internals and even make small
- modifications into it. This can be
- exciting, fun, and most of all cheap!
- ( unless you succseed to make more
- damage than you can repair yourself.)
- And Now example of good and easy fix.
- Let's say your Amiga has been acting
- mysteriously. There is NO! virus in
- #move 325,0
- Amiga. It just mysteriosly hungs after
- while, and sometimes it won't boot at
- all. Really Mysterious Behaveour ?
- Now read, before you react like one
- Stupid _Lamer_ somewere out there. He
- immediately carried his A500 to one of
- those really expencive ' authorized
- repairs '. OK, they fixed Amiga, and
- HOW ?? They ONLY pushed 'Fat-agnus'
- chip tighter into it's socket.
- The Best part in this true story.
- Lamer paid 300 Fim ( over 120 DM) just
- because he did't have enough brains to
- look into his computer and find one
- non-so-tight socket. Heh, Just Right
- To those Fuc*** A**H***s
- For any reasonable clever minded
- hard-ware hacker I think the following
- line is just enough. Just remember
- these two words *****************
- * DON'T PANIC ! *

- Next time I'm back on my own harware
- hackings! ( Unless I finally blow my
- own Amiga) (Scorpio)
