Ive got an IDE splitter cable going to the HD and a CD drive but I think a couple of wires touched eachother and sparked and now when I turn on my Amiga the screen is blank and the HD makes weird noises.
ive tried it without the HD and the floppy clicks but the screen is dead!

HELP!

any advice on how I might find out what is dead? or what I should do next? so you think i should just get a new mobo?

this completely sucks I was so close to finishing it all!

hopefully the HD and 3.1 ROMS will be ok

Im so crap at electronics!!!

I think the two power wires for the cd drive touched and maybe the wire that was earthing it

yup tried both a 1200 and 500 PSU, same result

99% sure i blew the motherboard

thanks for all the responses everyone

the floppy just clicks once..

Indeed I am looking for a new mobo, preferably REV 1.
Thanks detz, give me a PM

I have a very nice Wacom Graphire 2 worth £99 which I might be willing to swop for nice things maybe
