[comp.sys.amiga] Amiga 1000 Hardware Problem

barrett@meridn.enet.dec.com (Keith Barrett) (08/02/90)

I am having a problem with my 1000 that I can't figure out.  Every once in a
while I get little dots on my screen when I do window moves or the screen
scrolls.  It seems to happen when its humid? and it is pretty annoying.  When
it originally happened someone told me it was because my cables for my drive
and monitor weren't screwed in completely.  This seemed to fix it for a while. 
Now it's happening more often.  It could be a memory error but I can't find a
diagnostic program for chip-ram.  If anyone has had this happen or knows how to
fix this problem please respond.
