Hey Folks, Yesterday I received an A1010 external floppy drive, I plugged it into the A2000 and now my A2000 refuses to boot.
Connecting my tv up to its mono component I see a white screen the 'resets' itself after a short period of time, the reset corresponds to the power light blinking 6 times quickly and then staying on for longer when the screen reset happens, what what I've read this may be due to some sort of boot issue? meaning it can't find a boot source?
I have removed all the upgrades to my A2000 leaving it totally barebones and it still does not boot, i've tried pressing all chips down into their sockets and while some did the usual popping and creaking after being left alone for so long it did nothing, I even tried pulling the PSU connector on the motherboard and replugging it in in the vain hope that it would reset something but to no avail.
Did I just brick my A2000? the floppy drive works in my A1000 (I tested it afterwards) but unfortunately, all of my ADFs to actually make a legit copy (bought from amigaforever) of Workbench 1.3 for the A1000 are on the (you guessed it) A2000's hard drive.
Any troubleshooting help here would be really appreciated otherwise the for sale section may suddenly be rife with spare A2000 parts
