 Baby steps to make your B2000 comes back to life.

 1. Open it and gently pry the ROM out and them put it back to its socket;

 2. Do the very same in any other socketed chip you see;

 3. Remove the battery! Those evil batteries have killed a lot of good Amiga hardware around the world. I you mind the lack of a clock source, use a "lithium hack" (put a socketed coin shape battery with a germanium diode to avoid the recharging system to blow the battery);

 4. Check the caps in the PSU. They may have dried, bulk or (worse) leak inside the PSU, destroying it. Those electrolytic caps are inexpensive to buy and easy to swap.

 
Goodbye people.

I\'ll pop on from time to time, RL is acting up.
