Bummer! It seems that almost all my threads are about hardware failures... :-(
I'll try to make it short.
I recently had an opportunity to buy a nice CDTV set (I mean fully-equipped: with a genuine floppy drive, keyboard, mouse and that rare black 1084S screen), all in good shape and perfect working order. It finally got to me yesterday. Apart from a ripped-off monitor's front panel flap which didn't make it during shipping (I found broken parts of flap hinges) everything seemed okay... until it came to powering it up. And thats my problem :-(.
After switching it on the screen remains black. It doesn't matter if it's connected to monitor or a tv (via composite) or which kickstart mode I select - there's no "handy", disk going into drive or a CDTV welcoming screen - nothing! It doesn't boot from a workbench disk either :cry:. However it does restart when I press Ctrl+A+A combo.
All I can do is listen to music with a cd-player and control it with that ir-pad. Oh, and the clock - it acts like a stopwatch rather than a real clock - it runs like crazy.
Could you tell me which symptoms are normal and which are not? :-?. It's my first contact with this console and I don't know how should it act when everything is ok.
