- Hey, Kilroy, you mumbled somthing about a3000 startup prb pt deux on 06-Feb-96
- 05:46:38?
-
- K> i have now made it beyond the grey screens, and have hit a yello, and
- K> sometimes a red one....sometimes, like right now, it will still hang on
- K> the grey screens, all the while the disk drive light just stays on...
-
- Yellow is a error before checking routines (i.e. most likely hardware) and red
- is an error in your ROMs.
-
- K> when i try a warm boot, the caps lock key flashes once, and nothing that
- K> i can tell happens with the computer....
-
- They all flash once, isn't it "Checking completed, OK?"
-
- K> sometimes, the power led flashes alot...not 9 short 1 long...but just
- K> alot of shorts...and then the screen quickly jumps to black....
-
- Hardware fault, I get this when my accelerator has been knocked and is not in
- properly. But I thought it was normally followed by either a guru or a boot
- diagnostic colour?
-
- K> sometimes, and this is the most common...the screen stays black...i can
- K> tell that it does something, for it refreshes once...but it stays black...
-
- K> what my question is...does anyone out there have the foggiest idea what
- K> is wrong...is it the roms???? should a hold a funeral?? or should i
- K> keep trying cpr??
-
- Sounds like your Amiga is a very sick machine. If you really want to get it
- going, swap some stuff with another A3000. First the ROMS, then memory, then
- any accelerators, then pray, than kick it round the room.
