A4000 Dead Amiga Problem
« on: January 14, 2004, 03:49:25 PM »
Hi
 
My A4000 has the "dead machine peoblem", My A4000, powers up, led light comes on and gets brighter, keyboard light comes on, hard drive spins up but there is no floppy drive access and the screen stays black. I have checked that the processor is seated properly (both a cyberstorm 060 and the stock 030).

The A4000 is housed in a Mirage tower. I have tried the board in and out of the tower to no avail.

Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Paul

I have also noticed that when I power the A4000 the keyboard light comes on and pauses and then switchess off, I presume that this is an error indicator? From checking on the net one flash is a ROM checksum error?

Is there any way to confirm if the ROM chips are bad?

Thanks

Paul

Hi

Thanks for your reply, I realised after I had posted the message that the codes referred to the keybard and not the Kickstart ROMS!!!!

I put the board back in my Mirage tower and it worked with the cyberstorm. Now I just need to get the SCSI module working on the Cyberstorm. My A4000 stopped working after installing the card on the Cyberstorm. I think that it is a jumper issue. The pictures of the SCSI module always show three jumpers on the card, mine only came with one and if I am reading the ino on the net correctly for default use I only require one jumper to be closed on the board.

If anyone has any thoughts on the SCSI module I would be glad to hear. Thank you so much for your replies. I really appreciate it.
