3000T will not boot Solved. It was indeed the PSU plus....  I am sending the flaky PSU to Ray Carlsen for repair. His estimate is 25-35.


Got an address or phone for this Ray.

My A3000T up and quit a few years ago. Could have overloaded the PS. Just when I got it all together:
stock A3640 v3.0
16meg zip / 2meg chip
Fastlane ZIII with 64 meg ram
AD516 with a dedicated disk 4 gig HD on the stock scsi chain.
Personal Animation Recorder with 2 4gig HDs
TBC IV
Video Toaster 2.0 running 4.2

Right now its stripped down to just the floppy, the stock A3640 and a terminated external scsi port, and a 15khz RGB monitor. I get dim green power light when powered up. No monitor color changes, no "insert Disk" anim. Reset all the chips including the CPU.

I would sure hate to take the Warp'40 out of my A4000. Although at the moment, it is a bit more accessable than the one in my A3000.
