   Hi,   
    On Monday August 11 2003, Dennis Smith said to ALL:   
      
    DS>         If there ever was a reason for getting an AmigaOne, I got one!!   
    DS> My '020 A2K died last night. Does anyone remember what the purple   
    DS> screen of doom signifies? I know it's a motherboard failure, but what?   
      
   I had something similar on an A500 - try pressing down on each of the socketed   
   chips, they may have worked loose.   
      
   I think we can say that at least your CPU is working (the blinking power LED).   
      
    DS> So, I using my old WB2.1 A2K. It has problems, but it bootsup! :) I'm   
    DS> writing this with CynusED v4.2 and Q-Blue v2.4 =:o Eeks, I fell into   
    DS> time warp.    
      
   One option is to swap components between these two A2000s - either to locate   
   the fault, or to bring your old machine up to the spec of the other one :)   
      
    DS> I'm thinking of letting SoftHut do the repairs. Should I fix or not   
    DS> will depend on estimate. Any info will helpful...   
      
   As you're getting some action from the machine, it sounds like only one   
   component is bad. I'd expect a repair to be cheap(ish).
