Hmm... does the disk drive kick in if you cold boot it with a floppy in?

I doubt its the kickstart causing that.

Is it an a500+?

a500's are so common and cheap, im guessing that if you get a 2nd hand one, you will be able to at least make 1 working one... Or maybe get yourself an a1200 with HDD, Accelerator, Memory upgrade, etc.etc.... :-)
