i agree with you for the floppy drive.

Or the floppy drive is gone, or its flat-cable  is plugged in the reverse way.

Check the PSU>mobo connector too.(unstable contacts).

Ciao

PS- if you try to boot with a damaged floppy drive (or its cable), the system hangup.

If you boot the system w/out the floppy drive connected. . .the same.

if i've understood well, you can see all those activity thanks to the GFX card , , right? if you are be able to see a program loading!

So it is normal that when there is in use a GFX card, you have a black screen on the Amiga RGB output.

Let me know if i've understood :-)

Ciao

PS-check if in the DEVS:Monitor, there is a driver Spectrum related (remove it for testings)

check anyway your boot disk (it should been modded from the previous owner).

Check in the floppy Devs:Monitor, wich driver is present. (if it empty, should boot anyway from the kickstart PAL monitor).

If those floppy was modded, probably the Screenmode preference, should be wrong too.

Not an easy situation :-(
