Open up your A500, turn it on and let it run for about 5 to 10 minutes. Then put your thumb on the Agnes chip. if it's like REALLY HOT, then your Agnes is toast.

I had a similar thing happen. Mechy gave me guidance on this...low and behold... it was very hot. I found one on eBay, replaced it, no more problems!

 Um no,i never said agnus needs replacing if it gets hot, agnus always runs hot. the ram chips on the other hand can sometimes be bad if one gets really hot.

Did a little more digging and have a question for the gurus.

What would happen if a person was to install an Indivision ECS flicker fixer into an A500 which has the original Denise chip?

Perchance, would there be a memory problem prompting a green screen?

I'm not at home right now, but for some reason I think that's what I'm dealing with.

Can someone confirm?

According to what i read,the indivision ecs works with the ocs or ecs denise chip so thats not the trouble. are you installing it the right way? (i don't have one so i'm not sure if its possible to put it in wrong).
the green screen suggests chip ram,although the indivision claims to work with 1MB,but they recommend 2MB.since the 500 boots to insert disk screen without the indivision,it seems to be fine. I suspect the indivision has a problem,but not sure what. are you sure its seated right with all pins in properly?

sorry can't be of more help
