A3000 won't boot, advice needed
« on: February 18, 2005, 07:31:43 PM »
Have an A3000 which has 2mb chip, 4meg fast ram ,3.1rom which i've installed a Cyberstorm MKII '060 card in but now the computer won't boot.
I just get a black screen without any disk activity at all only my power light is on.
The CS card is installed correctly and level, it is fitted with two 32mb simms (60ns).
Can it be a faulty simm? or am I fried? (my CS is dead)
Haven't changed anything on the motherboard (jumpers) since the manual said I didn't have to change anything if I haven't had another accel. before the CS.
Help & advice is highly appreciated since I really want to get my A3000 going since it's not been used for a long time since it's been my most low spec amiga, want to use this baby as my main amiga computer.

Thanks for all of the quick replys!

Will try these things tomorrow..it's late here and I guess I would mess everyting up if I started fiddling with it now, hehe

which of these jumpers are the ones I should check?

http://www.l8r.net/technical/t-3000-jumpers.shtml

The CS MKII manual just says that I shoould check my A3000 user manual for the jumper setting but in there nothing is said about this issue, lol...the manual dates back to 1990 and thw CS MKII is from 1997
