Amiga 2000 Mouse not working - stuck on "stopwatch" icon
« on: May 08, 2022, 11:18:46 PM »
Hello, I have a problem somebody here may be able to help with.  I have an Amiga 2000 that after power up, shows that the mouse icon is always busy.  It never shows the pointer only the stopwatch icon.  Mouse works fine, buttons work fine but the stopwatch icon is always there and I can't open the various drives.

No, nothing was added to my WEStartup drawer in years.  It is fully loaded.  GVP Accelerator/SCSI card, SD Reader/writer, Floppy, HD and CD Rom. Nothing was changed at all.  One day, I turned it on and the mouse would not work at all. 

Today, I swapped out the CDROM becuase the door keep opening and closing repeatedly.  After swapping it out, the mouse came back but all the Drives and drawers don't open.  The mouse just remains as as if busy (displaying stopwatch icon).

Quiksanz has a good idea.  I will put a jumper on the accelerator and disable the scsi and see what happens.  It may definitely be a bad HD.  That puppy is pretty old.

Also, no new peripherals were added or removed, so something currently installed went bad.  Either a chip or HD, etc.
