wow sounds like you got some great extras in that unit! sorry for the troubles. That board attached to floppy cable probably is an adaptor like the floppies by AmTrade or whatever they were called.. (maybe AIR forget)

wow dude, that looks bad. Makes me squimish just looking at it...
Wouldn't "scrub" too much on those damaged traces. Might rub the MB apart due to the corrosion around the battery area.
Hope you didn't purchased it on the assumption it was in working condition, despite all the extra goodies it has. Good luck bringing her back to life.

Actually that is not even that bad for an a2k. I've seen much worse over the years, especially when we used to do repairs.  You are right about the traces for sure.. dont go to crazy scrubbing.. use a soft toothbrush..

if you got green screen its for sure agnus. If you dont have a spare one i can send you to test.. maybe something wrong with dkb board or wasnt hooked up properly. bad 68000 cpu wont give green screen afaik.,

Shoot who ever told you to use TarnX. Do NOT get that stuff near your motherboard! That is silver cleaner that must be washed with loads of water after use (on silver).
I sure wish you luck. They did you no favors on that motherboard.

Moto is right! I missed that. I've used a little baking soda diluted with water, white vinegar diluted and THEN isopropyl to clean it (and THEN water and cloth to clean the isopropyl) again with a soft toothbrush..

Did you replace the agnus chip with a known good working one?

When you power the machine hit the caps lock key repeatedly (like 15 times.. tell me if it stops lighting up)

I don't have a keyboard for this, and no one ever answered my question as to how to use a PC keyboard with it.

I had it booting for a few minutes with the original MegaChip.

Will not have spare Agnis' till sometime after Monday.

You can purchase a Lyra or minmys or whatever to adapt the a2k connector to use ps2 kybrd.  

When you say it booted for a few minutes can u plz detail how that happened and what exactly happened?

We will know better when you put in a regular agnus as maybe I suspect the Megachip is faulty??

Have you asked the seller about it?
