These last couple of days i have been testing my Amiga's and removing batteries .
Here is another problem A500Plus .
I removed the battery and cleaned the leaky acid from the motherboard . It doesn't seem to have leaked much at all .
But the Amiga refuses to work outright ..
I switch it on , but the screen remains black .
The power light does turn on , and appears normal (No blinking) . But floppy does not start up and screen is just remaining black .
No RED or Green or whatever ... Nothing .
At one point it was giving a white screen .
Is it possible that the Kickstart is faulty ? Or could it be that the board is dead ?
Thats the 2nd dead A500Plus for me in 2 days :-(
I think I had the same symptoms when I put my A500's Agnus chip back in the wrong way round (:crazy:). Not suggesting that's what you've done of course but maybe you've got a bad contact there or on one of the other custom chips.
