Diagnosing an Amiga 500 with DiagROM: A Step-by-Step Repair Guide

RavenWolf Retro Tech shows just how powerful DiagROM can be when diagnosing a heavily damaged Amiga 500 with severe RAM issues. By swapping out the standard Kickstart ROM, DiagROM was able to generate diagnostic output—even without a working display. Using a USB-to-serial connection, they pinpointed the exact faulty RAM chip, replaced it, and brought the system back to full functionality. After some final tests, every component checked out, confirming a successful repair. If you’re dealing with a dead or glitchy Amiga, DiagROM is an invaluable tool for troubleshooting and getting your machine back in action.
