	One of my friends here at UCSC has an Amiga and starting asked me
to post this to the net in hopes that someone could help him or at least
give him an idea of what is going on and how to fix it.  I hope this has
not been discussed before and I missed it.  Anyway, please mail all reponses
to:
	madbard@ucscb.UCSC.EDU
	...!ucbvax!ucscc!ucscb!madbard
	madbard%ucscb.ucsc.edu@cunyvm.bitnet

Please dot not post replies as he thinks rn is the antichrist and never uses it
so will not see any responses.  Anyway, here is his situation:

-------------------------

	I think my clock has died.  I was working on Amy2000 and attempted
a warm reboot.  All of a sudden, the screen flashed then displayed this
weird pattern (sort of mutation of the "red" screen (the one after
the black and before the white during a warm reboot) which all
these irregular lines across the screen and a prolonged screech was
heard, presumably from the monitor but it could have been the box...

	Undaunted, I just attempted another warm reboot.  The screen cleared,
the noise stopped and everything booted okay until the startup-sequence hit
the SetClock line and I got an error message and everything locked up.

	Could it just be the battery has died?
	Should I open Amy up and check seating?
	Am I going to need an expensive repair job? (I don't have the money!!)


Please, any and all help is welcomed!!!!!!

---------------------------

Again, please direct all responses to him, not me.

Jon
