Failing to boot.
« on: October 09, 2003, 03:35:48 PM »
After quite a while of odd behaviour (instabilty, etc) My amiga is now refusing to boot. At the moment it will do about 4 cycles of startting to boot then r5esetting then booting again until the monitor powers on with just a black screen. As i'm using a voodoo3 i cant see what's going on while it boots, im just about to lug a telly upstairs to do that.

Bit worried as when I had it on its side there was a screw laying in the case which shorted out on the motherboard. Was right in the bottom left corner (in a power tower), next to the small circular ferric coil type thing near the video ports.

yeah just watched it boot on tv - turns out I moved my samba directory and there was an assign to it in the startup. The error message was appearing on the native output and not on my monitor. Ta.
