Gold 2.12 V2 600 Not Working

Evening all,
 
  My Vampire 600 v2 Doesn't like the latest core - Gold 2.12. I updated by exe initially but on repowering the system the native out put shows blue, yellow, then no signal. DIGITAL-VIDEO Shows the Vampire logo and Gold 2.12 x11.I also tried to flast Gold 2.12 By USB Blaster with the same result. I've tried Gold 2.11 By USB Blaster And that works as I'd expect - on repower the insert floppy screen appears as normal.
 
  Any help appreciated! This system has been unusued for a long time so I'm looking forward to trying the Vampire! I left it unused for ages as I wanted to get my A600 Recapped before using it too much.
 
  Thanks,
 
  Robert.

I had this issue on gold 2.9 since the core seems to be more power hungry than its predecessor. Im surprised that your vampire managed to do core 2.11 without the power fix mod. looks like you won the silicon lottery on your v600.

Thanks Igor that answers my question - I wasn't aware there were different revisions of Vampire 600. It appears I have a v2 - It was from Kipper2k Probably late 2015 or Early 2016. I am not skilled at soldering but I know someone locally who is so will ask his help to apply the fixes to the card.
