Hello from Italy

Hi everyone,
I recently found an Amiga 3000 complete with it's keyboard and mouse in my grandma's attic. I'm also interested in selling it.

Wow an Amiga 3000! That is a great find!

If you are not aware these awesome machines came with a barrel battery on board for their real time clock. These batteries are notorious for leaking and destroying the PCB tracks and ICs around it. You need to remove the battery and treat any affected areas around it asap!

Honestly I tried turning it on without any display (which I was planning to do tomorrow) and it turned on. But since you warned me, tomorrow I'll check that too, thanks.

I suggest to first have a look at some videos to understand the issue.
For example
