Amiga 2000 Black Screen Repair Help

Have you tried to set jumper J300 on different position? Especially if you use ATX supply which doesn't have Tick signal, machine won't boot if this jumper is set incorrectly to use AC line frequency. Set it to use VSYNC.

Also you could use J500 jumper to disable real time clock and extra 512kb of RAM, to bypass these for troubleshooting?

Still waiting to receive the new kickstart rom, maybe that will fix it...

I'm thinking you should also consider ROM socket replacement. It's very rare when ROM itself is at fault. I have rev 6 mobo which had same kind of behaviour so I only replaced this socket and that helped. Did you try pushing on ROM chip while starting machine?

OH MY GOD!  You guys rock, I replaced the rom socket, and it fired up!! Amazing!

Very glad to hear that did the trick! One more saved classic Amiga!

BTW, cool workbench you have there! (I mean that wooden one )
