Hi all... new to the forum but not the Amiga... I'm still running my Batpack A500
I'm here looking for assistance, mid way through installing Octamed on my Rev B A4000 the screen, floppy and HD froze, I reset and was greeted by the grey screen of death. Sequence is power on, PSU fires up fine, hd spins for a few seconds with hd light on, hd light goes out then nothing other than power light and grey screen.
I have tried: Reseating 3.0 roms, battery has discoloured PCB a little but no corrosion visible, board os very clean and fresh, cleaned contacts between CPU and Mb and checked seated, tried caps lock check and only cycles six times then stops suggesting CPU is not responding. Left running for hours, booted with only CPU/PSU connected, CPU board looks pristine, no visible leaking from caps.
Mb is a rev 2... CPU board has no model number I can see but says 6820/030 rev 1 and has an MC68EC030FE25B CPU and MC68882RC50A FPU.
Ideally looking for someone uk based to diagnose / repair
Any assistance greatly appreciated
Thank you
