Hi:

I changed the hd (i had a working extra HD from many years ago)
and same problem, so I assumed the acellerator is whats bad.
I swapped my accelerator (from 030/50 to a 020)for the spare:
Volia !!! NOw amiga boots into the -insert disk image screen-
I press mouse buttons ---> boot display screen comes up working
after I choose boot gets into the -insert disk image screen-.
I am not good at this, so I tried inserting my original workbench disk
(first one)but I get a red guru, I might be using the wrong disk.
THis happening is very encouraging !!!
Now I feel there is a chance to salvage my amiga.
In the insert disk screen , it says system/wb is 3.0
Can anyone help me save my precious amiga 1200 ?

thank you all !!!

Hi:

I tried loading a game. The floppy disk drive is not working.
the floppy disk light does not lit, and the drive does not read the disk.
But the first time i tried loading the workbench disk
it did try to read but it got the guru.
I will try checking it tomorrow, too tired to do it today.
Any thoughts/tips on fixing the floppy disk drive ?
I never fixed it before, so tell me what I shall look for.
Thank you !!!
