I had the same. First sent it to a local dealer, they told me that some
unreplaceable chips on my MB where broken.

So i sent the MB to DCE who would repair it for me. They found out nothing
was wrong with it but they replaced my Buster chips without asking me.
Costed about 150UKP.

But still my Amiga refused to work with the MB installed, so I sent my
complete miggy to them. I turned out to be my cpu-card had given it's live.
So i bought a cheap 030/25 card and it worked again. They didn't charged me
for the last 'repair'.

Ooops I saw that you have a 1200, that one should work without a turbocard
because of the 020 inside. I have a 4000 and that really needs a cpu-card.

Doesn't help you much....
