- <> I have an A2000 with a rev 6.2 motherboard and a Vector accelerator/SCSI
- <> interface, a 2.04 ROM chip with AmigaOS 2.1. I opened up the case to clean up
- <> some of the dust, etc. from several years and when I put things back
- <> together... well - problems. When I power on the machine I get a green screen
- <> and the power light flashes 10 times, on the 11th flash it stays lit longer
- <> and seems to want to re-attempt to boot, but just cycles through the green
- <> screen, 10 flashes, etc. Ctrl-A-A just starts the whole cycle over again.
-
- The green screen means that an error was found in the CHIP RAM.
- The power light flashing is the machine's way of telling you
- that it has crashed.
-
- I'd suggest trying to reseat your RAM chips on the motherboard. Press
- down on every one of them and then power up the computer and
- see what happens.
