Gotek Amiga 500 - does not respond

Post by joys_333 »

Hello,

I use HXC for Gotek in my Amiga 500.
Now the Amiga has been in the box for a few years, and after turning it on, Gotek doesn't report, I can't even update the HXC.
I can ask someone for help.
See photo.

Thank you for the advice.
Jack

Nothing, it still behaves the same, from USB or without it.
Still the same condition.
It does not respond even when I am going to program (update via USB), both buttons are pressed.

This doesn't seems to be an HxC Gotek. When do you have programmed it ?

I'm not sure if it's HXC firmware, I bought this goth a long time ago.
I assumed it would be HXC firmware.
Would overflashing the firmware help?
But I don't have flash pins on the gothic, could I use the USB cable method? (USB-A <> USB-A)

yes USB-A <> USB-A method is supported.

Thanks for the information.
I try to follow the instructions.
But this step is not clear to me.

Copy the EXCHANGE.BIN and the last HxC firmware version (HxCFEUSB_V3_X_X_Xa.UPD…) files to the root of an empty usb stick. (formatted in FAT32)

Where can I get the EXCHANGE.BIN file?

Alternatively, where did you get the flash file?

Isn't there a video on how to proceed with this operation?
