[rednova]

Dear friends:

Sad news, my amiga 1200 died
I found an old disk with a business label saying 'AM News'
I never used this before, found it in an old box.
I loaded the AMnews icon from disk, got a red guru error msg
then the screen went black.
I turned off the power, and when i Turned power back,
the geen led light lit, but the HD did not boot anymore.
Everytime I turn on the power, the green light lits
but the screen remains black and HD does not boot.
Any ideas to help me pls ?

dear friends:

Good news !!!
I have an extra accelerator that is in working condition, and I can
order a new HD online.
Would it be possible if I changed the HD and accelerator the
amiga will run again ?
And shall I change the HD first, then the accelerator ?
Please help !!!

Dear Friends:

Is it possible a bad disk can hurt the accelerator board?
because if that is not possible, it means all I need is to fix the
Hard Disk.
thank you !!!

Hi

Pressing both C= keys + ctrl does not work.
I tried booting off a workbench floppy disk, it will not
work either.

@dougal

Wouldn't it be wiser to first swap the HD?
then I make sure there are no viruses, and if that does
not work, then I can change the accelerator.
Is it possible if I swap accelerator first, and HD is bad,
it might affect accelerator ?

Hi:

I tried pressing both mouse buttons, still it does not work
Does it not make a difference which one part I swap first ?
the accelerator or HD ?
