Reset is not made with Alt Amiga, it's  Ctrl - Left Amiga and Right Amiga at the same time.

But you need to tell us more about what is happening.

Do you have the kickstart screen?
Can you boot from any floppy?

About the keyboard, does the caps lock lit?

Anyway, if needed, Amigakit has brand new white 1200 keyboards, even with some non US/UK layout (i am very happy to buy a brand new french keyboard lately).

Hello
yes sorry
I try with this 3 keys..ctrl and both A
Now I have a doubt...must I press the 3 keys at the same time??
Ok I'll retry this evening.
About the 3 questions:

Do you have the kickstart screen?
Yes

Can you boot from any floppy?
I don't know I have 0 floppy left...

About the keyboard, does the caps lock lit?
yes

Thanks

Yes, press them at the same time.

I don't understand why you think this keyboard does not work.

Looks like a dead harddrive instead if you are going straight to the kickstart screen. Or maybe a slow hardrive that may boot indeed after a reset.

Open the computer to see how is the HD or try any floppy to test the amiga.

Maybe some keys are not responding due to some oxydation on the contacts of the keyboard ribbon. This often happens with A600/A2000. Try to clean the edge of the ribbon with alcohol.
