A2k won't boot

[Linchpin]

Red can also be caused by IDE issues iirc... at least on the A1200 it can.

I take it, the amiga has a HDD? Or are you connecting mobo only?

Not too sure about the a2k.. but the a500 can flash out error codes on the Caps Lock LED?

What does the power light do? Does it dim? (Im thinking a500 here... but i guess the "flagship" is the same

... and to add.

If the Amiga caps lock key LED blinks repeatedly at boot up, another series of error messages must be consulted:
one blink . keyboard ROM checksum error
two blinks .. RAM failure
three blinks .. watchdog timer failure
and not part of the official specification, but observed by the keeper of this page:
on the A500, multiple repeated blinks indicate low voltage on the 5-volt line from the Amiga 500 power supply.
