    Amiga 500 won't boot if keyboard is connected

    Interesting! I thought I'd tried all the solder joints already but I'll give it another pass and see what happens. I don't have anything to test the capacitors so I guess I'd have to order replacements and just replace them all. Before I order them I might throw a link in here just for a...

    Amiga 500 won't boot if keyboard is connected

    Nope afraid I haven't yet. I'm new to this so it's a bit frustrating atm trying to figure out how to find the short. Keep hoping to find some examples of how to trouble shoot it but no luck so far.

    Hi there, I'm having an issue where I connect a hitek keyboard to (any) Amiga 500 and the machine simply will not boot up. Unhook the keyboard and everything is a okay. I'm thinking/hoping it's a short on the keyboard PCB but wondering if anyone else has had this issue? Any suggestions on the...
