Hi.
I was just recently given an amiga 500..lucky me.
When it comes to starting it, all is well, dark greay, light grey, white...
but then i dont get the screen asking for a disk....
I have noticed that i get only a solid red led on the caps lock key.
I dont get any leds on the power or access led's either.
I have cleaned it all up, and replaced the diskdrive, which i knew was faulty.
I have also checked for corrosion and oxidisation on the chips, but all seems well except for a tiny bit on the chip on the keyboard...it is only on one pin.
Can anyone help me?...i have lots of games for it, and i'm dying to play them like i used to.
Any help or advice is appreciated...
Simon.
What are you using as a monitor? If you're using an RGB>scart connection to your tv - double check that the scart socket on your tv is RGB enabled.
Also, are you getting any clicking noises from the disk drive? Are you able to extinguish the caps lock light? If not, then there's a possibility your Amiga is faulty. Try removing/reseating the chips again, check the connections to the keyboard and disk drive - and try again.
