A4000T Dead?
« on: February 21, 2004, 08:01:29 PM »
Today I was trying to format a disk and in the middle of the format the computer froze.  When I tried a reset it failed to boot.  All the drives spin up and the monitor brightens slightly when I turn it on, but I get no screen color messages or anything to indicate what may be wrong.  Does anyone have any ideas how to troubleshoot this kind of problem?

Thanks.
Sidewinder

Thanks everyone.  I finally figured it out.  I did as you said and took everything out and started puting them back in and testing it.  It turned out to be the floppy drive.  I think it's on its last leg.  Anyway, I did happen to have a spare Amiga floppy drive so I stuck that in and it works now.  Or at least it boots.  The only problem is that the new drive is a High Density drive and the old on was only Double Sided.  The new drive can read disks just fine, but not write to them.  Does anyone know what I need to do to get a High Density drive to work on an Amiga?
