So I have three Amigas, original owner of all 3. An Amiga 1000 I bought right when they came out. An Amiga 2000 I bought later and an Amiga 4000 with a Video Toaster 4000 in it. All of my Amigas paid for themselves with graphic/video work I did in the 80s and 90s.
I used to be an Amiga guru and now I am like a 2 year old trying to write assembly code.
It was probably 1997 the last time I used these machines. I let the studio I work for keep the 2000 and 4000 for a bit. I got them back in 2001. I let them keep the monitors at the time. A good gesture I now regret.
I purchased an Amiga 1080 monitor. I have verified it works with the amiga 1000 in both RGB and composite modes.
I am trying to boot up the Amiga 2000. It has 2 hard drives and a GVP HD controller. When I turn it on, the hard drives spin up and all sounds well (a very distinctive set of sounds I remember). I have pulled the other boards out. An Emplant Mac emulator card and an Opalvision card.
I get no video signal. I have tried the composite and the RGB out with no luck.
I did inspect the motherboard carefully and all the caps are in good shape. The battery area looks great as well. Any tips on what to do next?
I appreciate the help. I really want to get into both machines and recall what I had on these drives.
