Amiga 3000T won't boot

Contact Anthony Hoffman.. I have his email address. Just post me private.

He is the guy I will be sending my boards to. I'm sure he won`t mind me giving out his mail address

PS Do not try to remove the battery. There is a railway station full of tracks below this baby and seriously you could destroy the motherboard.

PPS I have moved on long journeys an A4000T and A3000T and surprise surprise neither worked when I hooked them back up. Quite a common problem. I wouldn`t mess too much cus it really will be just a loose board or connection. Your best bet is to preserve the computer first and get someone skilled to remove the battery. They can check for electrical continuity. It will NOT be anything serious. What is serious is the preserving of this machine. Its at times like these you can do real damage. Slow down, pause, don`t panic and take things one step at a time. The battery must be desoldered by someone who knows what he is doing. After that its just maintenance.

Hooked up scsi drive terminated to internal scsi connection and still nothing.  Power LED never changes brightness once it comes on.

Scuzzb494, removed battery 10 years ago.  Never replaced it and never had a problem after removing it until now so I don't believe that has anything to do with it.

I thought this was a thread by a guy called mvansickle who said he had a leaky battery. have we flipped into different threads here...

He said....

Sadly, I seem to be a victim of the leaking battery. I can see where a drop of acid has fallen from the battery on to the motherboard and disintegrated 2 or 3 traces. Argh!!! I wish I had known about the battery problem sooner.

I don't suppose there is any way to repair this?

I was replying to him. I have no idea what your problem is. Confused.
