This is my 1st post to this board so G'Day everyone. I'm hardly new to the Amiga but haven't sat in front of a working machine since 1994.

I came across a discarded Amiga 2000 today (model B2000 - CR)
, took it home and cleaned it up the best I could. Plugged in a keyboard and mouse, hooked it up to my 1084s via mono plug and switched it all on. Power came on, the hard drives turned over (there is an IDE hd I think and a larger type...scussi ??), but no kickstart screen. Just a blank screen that flickers very slowly and so does the red power LED.

I disconected the hd's, removed the 8meg expansion and the hd controller card and tried again. Same again. Does anyone know what might be the problem ? Is it fixable ? This was a dream machine of mine years ago and would love to get it to work now.
