amiga 4000 not displaying picture
« on: April 08, 2011, 09:54:04 PM »
hi to every one on this site

I only joined two days ago and i have a problem with my amiga 4000 rev b motherboard.  Its not displaying anything only a couple of colours?.

Does anyone have any clues to whats causing this because i have checked the monitor lead and monitor on my amiga 1200 and both work fine:confused:

Much appreciated with any help
