Chipset error color codes?
« on: September 21, 2003, 03:59:00 PM »
Hi everyone.  I recently plugged my Amiga 500 in to see if it still worked.  (mostly because of the scare I got from the thread about the bad batteries leaking, since I have clone of the a501 clock/memory module installed).  When I turn it on there is no power light.  I'm using the same Micronik Bigfoot PSU that powers my 1200 just fine.  However I get a very blue colored screen.  I understand when you get a color instead of a workbench disk prompt it means chipset trouble?  What does blue mean?

Thanks

well perhaps it doesnt have to end in such tragedy.  I have an A2000 that needs some TLC, can some of the components be transplanted into the 2000?  I also have a DCE minimeg 2MB agnus/chipram upgrade in the 500.  I know it was designed for the 500 and 2000, except i lost the instructions on which jumpers to cut/connect :-(  Also will the 2.04 kickstart I put in the 500 work in the 2000 or is it motherboard specific?

Thanks

Ok thx for the help so far, I dug out my 2000.  Realized it doesnt have a keyboard.  The bottom left says "Amiga B2000-CR Haynie/Fisher A/W312723 REV 6.  It has a 1.3 kickstart rom, I tried plugging it in but got a green screen!  Does anyone know what that means?  Will it even try to boot without a keyboard?  If this is going to work I will order a new keyboard from probably software hut.  I hope I can get this to work, its a 2000HD, has an a2091 "hard card" not populated with any ram tho.  I had to remove the battery from the MB cause it was starting to leak as well.  I hope that didn't do much damage  :-o

Thanks everyone for your help.. very much appreciated.  Ironically I got my 500 to work using these techniques LOL  I'd still like to get my 2000 working.  But that will have to wait a while.  At least the offending battery has been removed!

Again Thanks!
