a3000 vga port

[elpiloto]

hi,
i found a cheap a3000 that is in a very good shape, the psu was bad so im using a pc one, the a3000 works ok, but i pluged my lcd monitor into the vga connector of the a3000 and i cant see anything .... is there any jumper that must be moved to use the vga port?
with my old 1084s works perfectly

cheers

hi all,
Thanks for the replys!!
As i sayed, i moved the jumper to NTSC mode, the psu of the a3000 is not the original from commodore, its a PC one (i dont know if the TIC signal have something to do with the vga port), i allready tryed with a crt monitor and i moved the switch that eneables the vga mode too and ..... nope, nothing on the screen.


oh by the way i have the original kickstart 2 disk, but i dont have the 1.3 for the A3000, is there any way to find it?
cheers

 The tick signal have "almost" nothing to do with VGA signal (it is generated from the video frequency: Agnus PAL or NTSC).

 Check if the monitors you have can handle 50Hz of vertical frequency.

 Check your ROM (OK, not YOUR ROM, the A3000 one!) to see the version.

 1.4 ROM inside the A3000 means you need a super-kickstart disk or an HD with the rom image on devs: (more information about it over the net).

 1.3 ROM simply never exist in an A3000!

but.......my a3000 when starts apear a kickstart menu, that says kisckstart 2.x hard disk or floppy and kickstart 1.3 hard drive and floppy, so i thin must be there some version of kickstart 1.3 for the a3000 ......
