Thanks for the replies, I'll take it to repair. When I tell the
service man what it could be, he wont rip me off :)

Do you think it could have damaged the Amiga 1200?
The computer is behaving strangely: if it is being used within 15 min
after turning power on, it freezes and crashes and sometimes hard disk
drive (2,5") makes funny noise. But if its "left alone" for that
period, it works well after. Though hdd still might make that noise.
I don't know where to look for help. c.s.amiga.hardware didn't know
what it could be.
