[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Agnus Warranty

jason@cbmami.UUCP (Jason Goldberg) (12/31/90)

When I originally had a 1MG Fat Agnus put in my A2500/030 I had to take it
back a week latter because the chip was heat sensitive, if you left the CPU
on for long graphics (menus, etc...) would start to get left on the screen.
Now months latter my replacement Agnus is exhibiting the same troubles.  My
question is two fold.

1.  Is it possible that there is something wrong with my motherboard that
is causing the Agnus chips to go bad?

2.  Is there any type of warranty for the CBM chips?  The place that
installed the Agnus said they will take care of it, but they are having
huge troubles getting the chips in stock and since I have moved they are
about a 2 hour drive away.  Is there any kind of warranty, so that I can
take my Amiga and receipt to a local dealer to get a new Agnus?  How long is
the warranty and if it has changed recently, when?

Even the dealers I have talked to don't know the policy on this.

Thanks,


-Jason-
