Hello!
yesterday I switched on my beloved A500 (my very first Amiga,
bought in 1988) and... she didn't wake up!! :-(
Last time I switched she on was almost 1 year ago,and worked
perfectly. During that time she has been in a safe place, no hurts, no dust. Maybe too much heat in june??
Anyway, situation is: when switch on, the caps lock light blinks, and I can hear the drive motor turning on. But the power led does not turn on, blank screen and no more sounds from the drive (no clicks). Pressing the caps lock turns on/off the caps lock led. That's it.
How do you suggest proceeding to try a repairing?

Hhhhmmmmmm, to me that sounds as if one of the voltages from the power supply was missing.
You know - normally there are 4 voltages from the PSU: 12V, -12V, 5V, -5V.
If one of those is missing because of an bad PSU it might lead to an non-booting computer...
So I would start with checking the Voltages.
