@nyteschayde

You did connect the extra power to the floppy power connector, right?

Did you try giving the system extra ctrl-amiga-amiga salute? (sometimes this wakes it up)

If your system is towerized the floppy is likely to be powered by the PSU directly. So the botherboard floppy power connector is empty.

This allows you to feed the motherboard (and the BPPC) with extra power by connecting another power cable there.

Here's a post about it.

Normally the extra power is only needed with BVisionPPC, but it doesn't hurt to try it.

I'm out of ideas really.

Well you could try to strip the mobo to barebones and then try connect only keyboard, monitor, BPPC and power. If that fails, I'm afraid something is toast.

@Effy

Now was that really necessary?

Interestingly my rev 1d.4 A1200 worked just fine with BPPC, no mods required. Eventually I did apply to fix just to be sure though.
