Hi there,
Got an A1000 for nothing -- Rev A. Basically you power it up, there's a faint blue stripe up at the top of the monitor, and that's it. Disk drive whirs endlessly.
I had an A2000 with similar problem -- turned out to be damage from a battery leak. No such situation here. I've swapped out the CPU.. no change, although oddly the power supply seems to run a bit more vigorously.
Checked the floppy cable to make sure it wasn't backwards.
From what I've read, I'm down to the Agnus chip, or possibly the power supply? I know with modern PCs you can have a bad power supply that runs but doesn't give the machine what it needs -- is that the case with Amiga? Or does dead PSU = no action at all from the PSU, no blue line on the screen, etc?
If it's the Agnus... anyone know where I could source one?
Lastly -- if not... any other possibilities?
Any help is most appreciated!!
