Amiga 3000T won't boot

[rkauer]

If you disconect the SCSI cable from the controller, you'll have the screen asking for a floppy on boot.

If the terminator behind the case is bented, they could be broke. Put it out and send to any electronics near you to check, the SCSI chain could not run without proper termination.

Preferably, dessolding the leads are better than simply cut it.

If you don't want another issue like that, buy a lithium battery pack instead (could be even a cell phone 3.3V one), or other simply modification like this (some people put a coin shapped peecee battery plus a germanium diode to avoid recharging - this type of battery couldn't be recharded).
