The LED constantly on for the HDD usually means the ide cable is upside down.

Check battery for leaks if it is still in there.  Leaks can cause malfuntions in RAM and cause the HDD light to stay on.

 HD LED can stay on if the Amiga is revalidating a corrupted partition.

 Leaked batteries can damage the SIMM traces, indeed.
