A1K Red A500+ black screen

[Motormouth]

I don't have a keyboard for this (my other A500 is in storage now, but, can be retrieved) so I cannot say what the keyboard LEDs are doing.  I also don't have an internal floppy to tell you whether it starts up.  I do have an external floppy, but, it does not spin up when plugged into the floppy port.

Any ideas what may be wrong?  I'd ask Acill, but, he is away at sea for the next week or so and there is no way to contact him.

If memory serves, you need some sort floppy signal to boot the amiga.  or something like the following.

I have never been able to boot  A500s including my A500+ without some type of floppy signal.  maybe someone else has?  Also a keyboard is handy to see if the power light is flashing and the number of times and if you can soft-reboot.
