hi everyone am new to this forum so please be patient.The problem i have is with my amiga 500+.I havent used it for years and the other day i decided to relive my youth.I've set it all up but when i switch on the power light just flashes and nothing else happens.The floppy spins but only about one revolution then stops.Have tried putting workbench in but still nothing.I just get a blank screen even when i try to retune tv

Without putting any disk in the drive and switching on your Amiga are you getting the white Amiga insert disk screen showing up (A picture of a hand holding a disk if I recall correctly, it's been many years since I've seen one...) :)
-
What colour is the screen? The colour during startup gives diagnostic information.
-
no not getting any screen images at all as far as i can tell the screen is just a bluish colour.The power light has a regular flash.It flashes 10 times and on the 11th flash it stays on a little longer.Is it knackered

Battery of RAM expansion still present? It may have leaked and damaged the chipram.
-
have opened up amiga today and checked onboard battery guess what the damn thing has leaked on motherboard.Is this the end or what can i do to get my amiga up and running again
-
Maybe its not the end of your amiga, some patience and clean it with isopropyl alcohol by example.
-
its possible to gently clean it off. Be careful though, as the stuff isn't great for your skin.
Getting another 500+ is likely to be tricky, but 500's and 600's do tend to come for sale often.
Good luck!
