My friend just fried his amiga 500 by accident. He used a serial cable instead
of the monitor cable in his RGB port, and there was a spark.  He's thinking of
replacing the bad parts himself but doesn't know what's burnt.  Maybe one of 
you readers can help.

Here are the symptons:

	1. There's no hand with the disk picture when the computer is 
	   turned on. 
	2. Both video ports are not functioning (RGB and RCA mono).
	3. If he inserts a disk that plays music the audio is messed up.

If it helps, he has the 1.3 Kickstart, and the old fat agnus.

His commodore dealer asks for an outrageous price just to open the case!

Thanks,

-Kok
