Non-booting A2000...
« on: November 19, 2008, 07:05:41 AM »
Hi,

Just picked up an old A2000HD with an ACD AdRAM 8MB board and a GVP Series II SCSI card and a couple of SCSI HDDs.

However, it doesn't seem to want to boot!

It goes through the screen colour-changes during the initial phase of the boot: dark grey -> light grey -> white, then the screen goes black (not blank) and nothing...

I've tried removing all the cards and still the same result.

Are there any jumpers on the motherboard I need to check/change? It's a rev 6.2 MB...

As ever; any help or comments greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Mike.

Hi,

I haven't tried removing the chips, but I've pressed them down into their sockets.

The inside of this A2000 is pretty dusty though, so it may be worth removing the chips and giving it all a good clean.

Not sure how I go about removing the Agnus without a proper chip-puller though...?

Cheers,

Mike.
