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)
