Amiga 500, Correct Screens, no kickstart screen

[simonfifa1]

Hi.

I was just recently given an amiga 500..lucky me.

When it comes to starting it, all is well, dark greay, light grey, white...

but then i dont get the screen asking for a disk....

I have noticed that i get only a solid red led on the caps lock key.

I dont get any leds on the power or access led's either.

I have cleaned it all up, and replaced the diskdrive, which i knew was faulty.

I have also checked for corrosion and oxidisation on the chips, but all seems well except for a tiny bit on the chip on the keyboard...it is only on one pin.

Can anyone help me?...i have lots of games for it, and i'm dying to play them like i used to.

Any help or advice is appreciated...

Simon.

All cleaned inside and out, i have also reseated all of the chips that i can, just not AGNUS.

Strange thing is that with all the test screens coming up ok, with no bad colours, i can't think whats wrong?...I though maybe a bad rom, but it passes the test?

What happens if you have a bad keyboard?

I'll try the CIA's again, I'm connecting via the 520modulator and an RF cable.

I do get a clicking from the disk drive...it just spins for a few seconds, and then stops (with or without a disk)

If it is my rom, how much would a replacement be?

I might try that, but i might just keep it for spares now.

I came across a great deal on Friday in my local ads..

An Amiga 1200, in very good condition, with about 30 games, for £12!!!
