It has to come out for the later steps anyway. To clean the keyboard, I recommend first removing it from the case. I learned the hard way and chipped the two rear corners when trying to lean it against a wall and hit the ground at a bad angle. Also take care to put it down gently and on soft undergrounds. Even though is won’t break apart too easily, due to the big holes for the keyboards, it lacks a bit of structural integrity unless handled by holding it on the more massive part where the ventilation slits are.

Be very gentle when handling the top case. Once open, you have the keyboard and the RF shield in front of you.

Carefully wiggle the top case left and right to get one of them to slip out. Be careful when taking off the top part, because they are easy to break. On left and right side there are plastic clips on the inside, holding the top and bottom case together. If you have the appropriate Torx screw driver, even better, of course. With a little care you can open them with a flat head screw driver, without damaging the screws. On some Amigas these may be Philips heads, but the more common variant seems to be with Torx screw heads. The top case can easily be removed by unscrewing 6 screws on the underside. What follows are the steps to disassemble and clean everything. So I decided to take everything apart and give it a thorough cleaning. While the yellowed case is a consequence of age and UV exposure and cannot be removed superficially, there was also quite a bit of dirt and grime on the case, the keyboard, the mouse and the power brick. So the machine seemed healthy for the moment.

After about three seconds the power LED hat come up to full brightness, and the disk drive began its expected regular soft clicking every two seconds or so, looking for a 3.5” floppy. I hooked the computer up to power and turned it on.

Having neither a suitable Amiga monitor like the venerable Commodore 1084S, nor an adapter cable to hook the machine up to my Panasonic plasma TV via the SCART connector, I could only do a very superficial health check. This allows a better side-by-side comparison later. I then used Photos.app on the Mac to set the white point to that paper. The next photo was taken in daylight on an overcast winter day, with a white sheet of paper for reference. The picture above was taken under fluorescent light, so the color representation is not exactly accurate. I also did not remember the power brick to be so heavy. Only later did I remember it is an RGB video cable.

It arrived in a big box with lots of packing paper, covering the mouse, the power brick and the Amiga itself, plus some cable I couldn’t immediately identify. I could have gotten one in better condition for more money, but I wanted something to try the technique of retrobrighting on, so I was just fine with the yellowed case. Considering they were the cheapest and thereby most common model, that makes sense. There’s quite a few Amigas on ebay, especially 500s.

I’ll try to remember to update this in all related entry.
#AMIGA EMULATOR REQUESTED SIZE IS TOO SMALL SERIES#
This is the first post in a series about restoring an Amiga 500 back to its former glory. The whole story is probably way too long for a single post, so I may end up splitting this into at least two parts, but I feel it is necessary to write this down if only to remind myself about it in the future :-) Turns out, I would end up spending quite a bit more in the end, but still it was (and still is) a fun experience. Turns out, I could get my hands on one, including a memory expansion card, mouse and power brick (and a brick it is!) for just 60€. Even though I even have a Pi 3 lying around unused at the moment, seeing Dan holding that Amiga 500 in his hands at the beginning of the video, I got all nostalgic and decided I could at least do a quick ebay search to see how much they go for these days. At first, my plan was to set up a Raspberry Pi 3 with an Amiga emulator, after stumbling across Dan Wood’s YouTube channel. About 6 weeks ago I got the somewhat crazy idea to - just for fun - play some Amiga games.
