Dead 2000

So far as I can find out the 10 blinks of the power light is Kickstart 3.x thing. Have you got KS3.x installed?

Apparently it's to give you a chance to get a debug dump from the serial port.

I don't therefore think the number of blinks on the power light really means anything here.

I've also found an indication that a black screen means no CPU detected. I didn't find anything pointing to RAM.

edit to add:

You may find this link useful. Seems to suggest the black screen could also be CIA chip related.

Debug dump from serial port, really? What speed and other settings should one use to get that from an A2000 with ROM 3.1?

9600 baud, 8bits, no parity. Press delete on the remote terminal to invoke the ROM debugger.

Cool. Is this available from 3.0 or 3.1?

I think it is 3.0 as this link seems to suggest v39 which I think was 3.0:
