Amiga 3000T won't boot

@tlgrooms

well have you checked the battery?
fixing the corroded traces is easy, the problem is finding them.
cheapest but ugliest solution is to just soldier wires. or use liquid silver and such.

oh, sorry, didnt read the first message completely. still, its worth checking the area once more, to be sure. (if it ever had batt leakage).
i think you would need two terminators if it has external scsi. check that too, or put some drive on scsi. without proper term, it probably wont boot.
have you checked all video outputs?
what about LEDs on power up, does it pass the initial test?

well, I think the problem is with disconnected  scsi cable.
I never owned A3000T, but (IIRC) in all other scsi Amigas, if I disconnect  everything from scsi controller, it wont boot because its not terminated. try once more with HDD (jumpered with term on) connected to that scsi.

also, when powering up, does power LED change brightness?

um, did you check that keylock thing mentioned here?
otherwise, you should try the 'usual procedure'- press on every socketed chip, check PSU contacts, RAM modules.. if possible see which chips get (too) warm.
