in both case it just could be lousy connection.

Also clean/reseat the expansion slot riser and check for any battery damage.  Standard practice with any Amiga troubleshooting, LOL.  ;)

I believe the green screen may mean a memory problem, I get green flashes everyday, and that is why I believe it is a memory problem, you can look it up on the net though just to make sure, My A3000 had this problem 2 months ago, when I tried to fix it, it went black and has been that way ever since.
BTW does it have 3.1 roms in it, try reseating them, if that don't work look at some 3000 boards on the internet, I remember at one time the rom screening was backward somehow, on a batch of A3000 and when people replaced the old roms with the new 3.1 roms, no workey and green screen. For the life of me I can't remember if the chip numbers where backwords or the two roms where backwards, I do know that if you done it a wrong way your ROMs where toast.
I just started working on my bad A3000 and bad A4000, I think the A4000 just needs new caps, now the A3000 used to work if I had an external scsi hooked up, but it don't work no more.
Good luck, and if you figure it out let me know, I told you all that I know. BTW better look at the revision number, because some rom replacements need the tower, and other rev don't. Only Commodore could do something this confusing.
I have no idea what your talking about, so here is a doggy with a small pancake on his head.

MorphOS is a MAC done a little better
