Hi! Just got an Amiga 2000 in very a good cosmetic state.
i was told by previous owner that the machine was working. I had no way of testing it until i got home. The machine has mouse and keyboard. no har ddrive, no extra cards. No battery, removed by previous owner, but no damage to the board as far as i can see.
Machine is PAL made in Germany. I hooked up to a multinorm TV (PAL M, PAL N and NTSC) using an RCA cable from composite of the back of the Amiga to video input on the TV.
Screen is completely black. Nothing happens. Nada. After a couple of seconds (more than 30), the lights on the floppy drive begins to work, but no spinning, no noise. again , nothing. I tried to boot puting WB disk inside the floppy. Nothing happens. again, black screen.
I reseated all chips that may gone out of socket during travelling to my house. Again, black screen, nothing happens.
Am i missing something here? Should i be able to see at least WB boot screen if i switch on the machine and wait a couple of seconds?
Do i need a modulator as a must to be able to use it on a tv or just pluggint it the way im doing it should be enough to get a picture?
Sorry for too many questions. Its been ages since i used an Amiga for the last time, and i never had a 2000 before.
Any tips/help, much appreciated
Kind Regards
Sebastian
