Repeat toggling of the Caps Lock key: works. I can do it as often as I like, it doesn't freeze.
Also I can now get the rainbow reset pattern on the MKII, but that is all. No floppy access, no Kickstart screen, just black.


Sounds promising. At least it shows the CPU is working, and the AGA is outputting OK.

When you tried without a HD, did you remember to disable the onboard SCSI , or at least terminate it at both ends?
Cos it looks like it`s stuck on scanning the scsi bus.
(BTW, how long did you wait until you decided it was a 'no boot'?)
 Also, as someone else said, check and double check the floppy cable for correct fitting..including making sure none of the pins on the floppy are bent, that had my A4000 in a non booting state for a few hours  :pissed:

An amusing tale, now that the facts are known  :-)


Isn`t it {bleeping} annoying when it turns out to be something so ruddy simple as a bit of plastic! :pissed:
