Finally got my 2000 back on the workbench and now it won't boot.

My symptoms are a black screen and 10 short blinks and 1 long blink on the power LED.

I've swapped out both the cpu and the ROM for known goods and no joy.

Checked voltages on the power supply and they're good.

I've got an Indivision installed and I don't even get the "splash" screen from it.

Suggestions?

Oh, it's a rev 6.2 motherboard.

Right now there are no boards installed at all.  It's basically bare metal with only a floppy drive.

I have one of my A1500s that performs exactly the same. I have to switch off from the back and switch back on again. A softboot wont work. I just have to fire up again. Are you sure the video connector is working and is seated properly. Never used an Indivision. I found that the problems with the 2000 are mostly related to cards not seated properly or the main CPU. It needs a good connection so clean and check. That would generally throw up a colour but you never know. Dust off the board with the case out and just reseat but be very careful.

I've had a tricky time with 2000s this year and I've had a variation on your issue. All though were resolved with just minor issues to connectors. I switch on four of them every day just to check and they all work. Like I say that one 1500 sometimes needs a reset from the power switch to get her working. More annoying than a real problem.

Good luck.
