i got an amige2000 of a friend wha asked me to look at it since it wont boot anymore. And indeed, it wont boot anymor..that is:
when u turn the power on (screen modes are corerct, tested it with another a2000 i have right next to the broken one) the only thing u get to see is fullscreen a random color that changes every 20 secs or so. The only thing that is in that a2000 as addon card is a scsi card with some HD attached to it, bt i already tried to remove it and it's still the same.
Anyone had this also?
What did u do?
What is most likely broken and is it repairable?
(i mean, would i be able to replace the broken part, i have very limited knowledge of the hardware of a2000, it's almost 2 years since i touched mine (i know, shame on me), but i do have some skillz 
when i comes to HW replacement, and trying to figure out which components are where.)
It's a standard a2000 with workbench 1.2 (at least i think it is, since i havent seen it working, but my friend told me it was that) and no extra ram (except maybe whazt was on the scsi card, but i removed that to keep things simple)

thats a strange error!
any particular colors?
amigas do have color coded error messages, but they dont change from one to the other ~ every 20 secs.
is the monitor cable working? does the machine access drives? it could be the graphics chip
are you booting from anything? it could be a rather strange virus!(the disco virus! ;-) )
