before you throw it out, i suggest giving it a good clean with a q-tip and cleaning fluid. I recently bought a 060 which I thought was broken, continual crashes, etc. I gave all the contacts on the 060 and the board and my amiga expansion port a good clean with the fluid and it's been working perfectly for the last 4 months.
if it is broken i still wouldnt throw it. have it repaired or sell it as broken on ebay. someone will be able to fix it and you will feel good about saving a rare amiga item which someone else can breath life into. good luck!
