Do you have a multimeter handy? then you could check if the psu is giving out the right voltages.

Yes, meega, it's a green-screen. But I have plugged it into the tv once or twice. Startup screen "white with blue floppy with words "Workbench 1.3"", so I'm assuming it's a kickstart 1.3 if I'm correct.

EDIT: Does anyone think a motherboard replacement will (hopefully) fix my problems? I found a cheap one which I could buy next week. It has no chips.. so if a chip is the problem, I might make no headway.

Most likely it is either a chip, bad contact or psu. I would rather invest in a whole machine as a500 goes for very cheap anyways.
