2101.0. "timer failure chip?" by JFRSON::OSBORNE (Blade Walker) Tue Jan 10 1989 07:43

I know this has been discussed before, but I can't find the note:

Last night, my Amiga 2000's timer failed. (f'rinstance, Clock is stopped)
Everything else seems okay. Since I don't have a hardware manual, I'm
not sure what chip is involved, where to go for replacement, or whether
I should attempt the repair myself, but it seems there have been a number
of notes on failures of the parallel or serial port chips, and that the
timer is implemented on one of these.

Advice on fixing the Amy, or a pointer to the appropriate note would
be appreciated.

    In the back of your 2000 manual that came with the system is a set
    of schematics.  This might help...

It was the 8520 CIA chip. Omnitek has 'em in stock, all is well now.
