I dismantled my own A500+ so I could pinch the floppy drive and keyboard for some more rigorous testing. I noticed straight away that my own A500+ has a very different motherboard to the broken one. Well, I say different. They are actually different colours. Have a look:
 |
| My original A500+ is very green |
 |
| This one is very brown(ish) - note the missing trapdoor connector |
There's no difference in the components, just the colour of the actual PCB. Strange.
Anyway, after connecting up the floppy and keyboard I turned the broken board on and....
...it worked. Perfectly. Everything I threw at it it just worked. This is outrageous. I demand a more damaged motherboard that takes me longer than half an hour to fix.
Pictures to prove that the Amiga is a hardy beast:
