A3000 powers up, blank screen

Yes, I know what the switch is for....

Well, i think your gut feeling isright ,

But just to make sure , you have tried to boot from a floppy ( you may need to strip down the expansions).

I have seen problems like this due to incorrect 040 Librarys or software conflicts.

Also ,on a cheery note, the MOUNT command ( or similar) could be infected by a virus.

Good luck.

Too bad you're not in Kansas City, I'd let you borrow mine. 8-/  However, what your A3k is doing is exactly what mine does when my CSPPC gets loose on the Fast slot or it eats a SCSI3->SCSI1 adapter.

holding down for a while on both right and left mouse buttons at the same time? you do this on initial power on....... :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D
