A3000 wont boot

[HammerD]

I've been sitting working with my A3000 all night.  It was working intermittently, but now, not at all.

I've removed & replaced the zorro cards, the riser, reseated chips & zips.

The keyboard light blinks once, as normal.

The screen flickers and the caps lock flashes once when i do a soft reset.

but the screen stays black, and the 2 floppys are silent.

Any ideas folks??

At least on my A4000's black screen means problem with the CPU slot.  Do you have any accelerator in that A3000?

I noticed there seems to be some damage on some of the pins on the 68030.

I installed my 3640 as per these instructions: http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~miles.j/a3640.html

But it makes no difference. same symptoms.

If the pins on the 030 are damaged, does that mean that the 040 wont work either??

What a nightmare!!

Well...I don't know for sure, but it's possible.  Just was curious because with other black screen issues it has been fast slot (cpu slot) or dead CPU related.   At least in my experience.
