the old green screen A500 thing...

[creous]

Hi there. Have an old A 500 with RAM Extension card and hundreds of games... It waited about 10 years to be unpacked again- unfortunately it doesn't work. Shows a green screen and the red led flashes 10 times, then it reboots. Ok because I think many newbies have this problem, perhaps you might give a short explanation what one could do- didn't find a good one (not even in this forum).
I already opened everything, cleaned the motherboard (it had lots of dust on it) pressed on every chip. Still nothing. Read that reseating agnus might help (http://theweeks.org/toms-stuff/files/TDTTS_reseat_agnus.txt) But I don't have the right tools and I don't want to ruin everything, so I ask first. Hope someone has the time to give some advice...

bye

hi there

I tried reseating and cleaning Agnus and the other chips. the ram card doesn't have a battery on it. Nothing changed- still the "green screen of death". so...
a) throw away
b) any ideas?

greetings from Heidelberg and thanks i.a.

Of course I am NOT going to throw away
my old Amiga 500...served me for years
when I was young (you don't throw away
old friends!) Guess I have to buy a new
old one from ebay.
The AgnusSocket doesn't have any visible
cracks. Tried with/without everything,
the PSU is ok.
Anyway, thanks for advice!
