[comp.sys.amiga] warped computer

steelie@pro-charlotte.cts.com (Jim Howard) (12/29/87)

Has anyone out there encountered the 'banana syndrome' on their Amiga
1000's yet?  My amiga is warped in the center so much that the
keyboard has to be forcefully slid under the machine!  Ive just got
a stock 1080 monitor, nothing heavy. Is this something to be worried
about, i.e. motherboard cracking in half under the strain?

Didja remember to put away the keyboard's feet first?    ;^)

The 1000's case does not have much support in the middle. You could use a
piece of wood or metal cut to the same size to distribute the load to the
outer edges of the case where it is stronger.
