A1200 won't boot!
« on: September 04, 2012, 10:21:19 PM »
For some reason I can't seem to boot up my system with

No start-up sequences
Chip type original or enhanced mode

I just get a white screen and nothing happens.

Anyone know how to resolve this?


Thanks.

I believe that this is indicating a failure of the CPU based on the 'Amiga error colours'

if its the system you have in your signiture an accelerator card may solve the issue and bring a few benefits to overal amiga experience.
