I have been digging around in my stock of Amiga stuff. I found a amiga 500 with something in the trapdoor and i am wondering what it is.

There is a flicker located on a side of the amiga to turn it on/off but seems to be broke

If anyone know what it is, can it be turn on by the jumpers instead? :)

Looks like a RAM expansion with a clock battery and the switched jumper might be one of two things.  1) RAM expansion enable/disable switch, or 2) RAM config to make the added RAM Chip, or Fast RAM.

Those are my 2 guesses.

So there should be a way to turn it on with those 2 jumpers maybe? i could test that with launching workbench right and checking if there is more Chip or fast ram in it?

Yes, but to be safe I would only change the switch, or jumper if switch wiring is removed, when the Amiga is off.
