Product FAQ
Do you accept boards from outside the UK?
YES! We do and the process is not dissimilar from UK one. The only difference is the package requires a customs form (CN22) which every post office will be able to assist with, it simply states what is in the package, why is it being exported (repair or other) and value (put what you feel the value is, makes zero difference to us.
Once the board is completed, we do the same in reverse, this should not attract customs fees as its going back to the origin country 'repaired'.
Return shipping costs are requested at the checkout, to do this add any of our recapping services to your shopping basket and then at the checkout simply fill in the billing and shipping form including your telephone and email address (important) and click the 'Request a quote' link.
You will receive an email within 24hrs with the shipping cost and you can then proceed with the order by clicking on the 'Complete your order' within the email. There is no need to leave the checkout page open your web browser.

What is TerribleFire?
Well it’s not what it’s who, and that person is Stephen Leary who has designed a whole host of accelerators and ram cards for the Amiga A500, A1200 and Amiga CD32. These include many but the most common ones are:
TF328 – 8Mb Fast Ram board and IDE socket for the Amiga CD32
TF330 – 68030 Processor, 64Mb Fast Ram and IDE socket for the Amiga CD32
Amiga A600 8Mb Fast Ram Card is PCMCIA switchable using a physical jumper to switch from 8Mb to 4Mb Perfect for WHDLoad, Its tiny size makes it the smallest 8Mb fast ram card for the Amiga 600.
Amiga A600 1Mb Chip Ram upgrade fits in the trapdoor of the Amiga 600. These cards are brand new and perfect in giving your Amiga 600 a little boost and compliments the Amiga 600 8Mb Fast ram upgrade as 2Mb chip ram is recommended if your looking to start using WHDLoad.
What is WHDLoad?
WHDLoad is a a solution where by the user can install hundreds of Amiga games on to a HDD/CF or SD card even if the game originally did not have the option of installing the game on to the internal HDD/CF/SD card. The vast majority of games have already been converted ready to go or you can create them yourself if you have the original game on a floppy disk/s. Also many great Amiga demos have been converted for WHDLoad.

Case and keyboard is stripped and cleaned but due to age may show signs of use and age.
What is Ultrasonic cleaning?
Ultrasonic cleaning is a process that uses ultrasound (usually from 20–40 kHz) to agitate a fluid, this fluid is made up for this specific job which is to clean and remove any flux left over from recapping. We use deionised water (deionized depending where your from) and professional grade PCB cleaner.

Removal of existing capacitors.
Cleanup and preparation of area.
Replace using Panasonic/Wurth/KEMET capacitors.

Recapping the Amiga A4000 PSU is a good preventive measure, the reason being these capacitors are under alot of stress (which they are designed to take of course) however with age they start getting tired which could lead to issues later on.
All that needs to be sent is the Amiga 4000 PSU itself.

Many CD32’s have issues reading *compilations CD-R’s and commercial CD’s, With this service your CD32 will be like new with its CD laser replaced with a brand new laser.
*Please note just replacing the laser does not guarantee it will play CD-R compilations, it all depends on other factors like brand of CD-R and speed of the burn also.
