Faulty A600??

What do you have it connected to?  If you are certain it is connected properly, then try the following (in this order if you wish):

-Remove any RAM cards from belly
-Reseat the ROM chip
-Remove the HD (A faulty drive will lock up, happened to me)
-Remove the shielding to see any obvious damage

Anything short of that you may have a dead A600.  Contact Amiga Center of France if you wish to repair, or buy another from Europe (It's cheaper!)

OK one of mine did the same thing!  It was leaky caps that ruined some traces, if I left it on it eventually came up.  Like it needed to warm up.

Jean at Amiga Center repaired it for me for around $50 with a fast turnaround! About 2 weeks from Seattle to Paris?
