Is any of the installation disks for the card bootable and maybe also has a setup / test program on it?

You could try ViewTek to show a test picture.

Maybe you have to readjust the colours on the card itself?

amiga.resource.cx  mentioned something about internal genlock incompatibilities. Any chance the card gets such a signal from somewhere?

Sounds like a fixable problem, still. You already took the card out for cleaning the contacts, didn't you? :)

Yeah, that old software has certainly troubles with the 060 and the grafics, maybe memory size too.

The ROMs on the card are in the right place? (just to be sure). Any socketed chips you could push?

At least the white screen is a stable valid signal, as reported by the monitor?
