Have you tried it COMPLETELY bare bones?  No Indivision and no floppy.. just the PSU, motherboard and video output (B&W composite if you don't have compatible monitor)?

That's the way I test.  Always.


Ok, you indicated that you didn't see the Indivision splash screen so that led me to believe it was still there.  At least we can say why you don't see it... because it's not installed :roflmao:

IF I had a composite crt, I would be happy to do that.  Unfortunately, I do not.


Understood.. I had to drag my Amiga out and connect it to our living room TV.. wife wasn't thrilled, but she got over it.

I now use one of these:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M4JY722/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

to convert the B&W composite to something I can show on my monitor (mine has HDMI which is connected to the VA2000/CX and VGA which is connected to the device above).

I'm not sure its worth going out to spend the money on it as it's just a shot in the dark that you might get something useful out of removing the Indivision.  I got it because I was tired of dragging the Amiga back and forth between my office and the living room.
 I assume that you've tested it with it removed and it still does the same flashing thing.. don't need a monitor hooked up for that.

If you have a good disk washer after the chips are removed you can use it to run the board through a cycle as long as you let it sit on its side at an angle and dry out ofter for a few days.


Would you run it without any detergent?
