Black screen on 3000

Try removing all SCSI devices (external ones first, then internal).

This is probably not the cause of your problem, but it's worth a try.

I had an Amiga 3000 refuse to start up and behave very strangely when external devices were attached (i.e. the power button would not even turn the machine on when an external device was attached and powered up first).

Do you still get video out of the composite video out?

There is no composite out. The high-end Amiga 3000 and 4000 models lacked composite output of any kind.

could use the a520 modulator and see if it works with that. I bet its the zip ram.


lost.

Oh, I used to own an A3000 but I didn't use it much.  I'm mostly an A2000 man, which has a composite output.  I still consider the A2000 a high-end Amiga though.
