I have some problems with my internal clock A501.
It doesn't work anymore.It stays on the same time . I can set it to a new time
but it then just stays on that time.
 I had the same problems about 1.5 years ago. I then replaced the left CIA 
(8520) and everything was fine. I know the same CIA is malfunctioning now
( I switched the 2 , and the clock worked but another problem occured).
I can buy another CIA but I like to know what could be the problem . 
I think I know what it is but maybe someone could comment on it.
I noticed that I have a problem with the ground. Sometimes when I plug in
the printer cable I see litle sparks . I also noticed that when I take
a wire and connect the ground (of the house , not of my computer)
with the outside of my stereo (which is connected
to the Amiga) the fuses blow. This doesn't happen when I unplug the audio
So I think there is something wrong with the ground of my Amiga 
(or maybe the powersupply?)
Maybe someone had a similar problem or whatever ....
