Amiga 1000 screen gets white after using kickdisk
« on: July 27, 2007, 10:25:39 PM »
I got an A1000 for free a couple of weeks ago and decided to test it today. When i start it it shows the kickstarthand-image. The builtin floppy drive seems to be broken as it only reads the kickdisk a few seconds and then shows the kickhand again. I tried with another floppydrive and then it reads more from the disk and then seems to reboot but after that the screen stays white. Anyone who knows what the problem might be? Any usual problems on A1000 ?

I tried two different dmsed kickstartdisks i had and also to create one myself with writekickdisk from aminet.

Thanks in advance.

i tried an original game after the kickstart-disk finished loading. But it won't read from the floppy after it finished reading the kickstartdisk :/

I also already tried pushing all the socketed chips.

My computer doesn't seem to have a daughterboard. It's just one big motherboard and small board in the front (under a plastic lid). I suppose it's a memory board?

Will a Commodore 1010 floppy fit good internally (if i remove the casing) in an A1000? (i think they look pretty similar)

(I can take a picture of the motherboard later)

Mine doesn't show the kickstart hand again though, the screen just stays white, even if make a reset. I've used a1200 drives when testing btw. But i might try to get an A1010 drive and try with that.
