Bought from thsi post:

All I am getting is a solid black screen, no color cycling or actually any output.
Have tried the following:
- I am using a working 3000T power supply, works fine in my personal 3000T and confirmed correct voltages at 5V and 12V
- 3640 is confirmed working
- Jumpers are set correctly for external card
- also tried jumpers for on board CPU - same black screen
- Tried a different set of kick start chips - same black screen
- reseated all chips
- Tried using a video card (same black screen)
- Tried with and without known working SCSI drive
- Tried with and without keyboard and mouse
Appreciate any other testing advice. thanks

Do you have power & hdd leds attached? If so the power led does lit up?
Any blinking in the power led, also the caps lock led at the keyboard does lit, any blink there?
By black screen do you mean that it gives video signal but black?
-
Yes black video signal, there is a signal but just black
I don't have a power led but no blinking on Cap key, if I press it, it lights up so behaving normally

Well, I'm not very familiarized with the 3000 line but I remember that those have a memory that store the scsi settings and a change on the scsi chain disposition can lead to a very long delay at the first boot, have you waited ? Say a minute or two.
-
Yes, left on for 1bout 10 min. Also tried with and without a SCSI drive
thanks for your help

But it seems that is behaving well as the caps lock do response.
Try reseating the zip drams also to see if helps.

Also try reseating the oscillators (the tiny rectangular metallic cans)

Oscillators are firmly soldered in place.

I've spent countless hours already on this... trying to work out a return with the seller

For a 3000T to start it's keylock needs to be attached too.
And thus the keylock must be open, else the 3000T will never start.
So you need to use your tower and also connect the black connector with small blue wires.
