ScuzzBlog: Diaries August 2019 Entry 21st August 2019: Post 01: Colour of a busted Amiga capacitor. Colour of a busted Amiga capacitor. OK so I was checking over my records for the Amiga with the very subtle yellow tint and discovered that in Jan 2018 she displayed none of the colour issues. I decided to set up the Samsung flat screen to check and compare images from three Amiga 1200s plus the historical pictures from Jan 2018, it is obvious something has gone very wrong. For me I am guessing it is one of the components shown in the area on the two pics and most likely that yellow small brick which is affecting the adjacent video chip. [ technical stuff that ]. Sorry I can't be more specific but I have seen similar issues in the past, though not on my Amiga 1200s. If you study the palette on the three A1200 screen shots you will see that their is a beige / yellow tint to the colour slider in the first pics when at colour range 170 there shouldn't. You can check that from the other images. The Amiga is not displaying the correct colour for grey. It is showing a yellow tint. Nothing to do but to throw the thing away... or not. Probably not. Never mind, maybe in time someone else will fix her. Poor thing. Colour of a busted Amiga capacitor. Busted Amiga with faulty display. Note the hint of yellow/brown on the slider. Healthy Amiga slider. Another healthy display. It is the yellow thing that is at fault. Usually trad capacitor on some Amiga 1200s. Image from Jan 18 showing no issues. <
