- Could you please post again (or mail me) with some more information about the
- problem with modulator chips, please?
-
- I got an A1200 at Christmas, fitted it with a hard drive myself
- (thus invalidating my warrenty), then the modulator flickered
- between colour and black and white, and eventually died.
-
- Since I broke the warrenty seals, I didn't bother contacting Commodore
- to see if they'd repair it. I took it to a computer repair center,
- who refused to fix it because they couldn't get hold of the chip.
-
- But if it's a design fault of some sort, and you seem to imply there
- have been lots of problems with modulator chips, then maybe Commodore
- should be responsible for the repair of it anyway?
-
-
- Thanks in advance for any info!
