Help, dead Amiga 1200!

[GreggBz]

I think I might have killed my 1200.
I was finagleing with the hardrive connecter, trying to mount a laptop hardrive adaptor backwards so that it would allow me to plug in a 3.5" hardrive without hacking up a cable.  I was connecting the adaptor to the MB and then plugging a 40 pin IDE cable into that.
You know one of those plug your laptop hardrive into your desktop adaptors...

It worked initially, and then it just stoped. I played genetic species for a while and it started locking up..

I then disconnected the hardrive and booted up.. just fine, but it still kept locking up periodically. After a few more times, I started seeing red screens on bootup. So, I thought it might be a ROM problem. I reseted my ROMS and that didn't help. Now, it won't even start up at all.
I get nowhere. No clicking drive, no kickstart screen nothing just black. The capslock key does blink once, like it should but nothing else.

What's wrong? Do I have bad rom chips?? argh.. I love my amiga dearly and would hate to see it go..
Any Sugestions?

I've made sure the keyboard connector was attached well.
No luck.

I'm wondering if it's my power supply. It spent a few years running a 5.25 inch hardrive and a apollo 030 card. Perhaps it's given up.

However, if I disconnect everything and hit the power button I get the same results. The whoe thing has me frustrated..

Looking at error colors online brought me to the conclusion that a red screen error was a result of bad roms. Can I take the roms out of the mother board and power it up to see what happens? Is there any way to troubleshoot this?

This all started with intermitant lockups, and a red screen on startup. Hmm...

Roms in, black screen.
Roms out, black screen.

Does'nt look good does it?

No ozone smell or burnt things.
