One last try to fix my A3000 - Page 2

webmany · 04 March 2008, 04:13

Took a close look and could not see any problems with the connector or the pins underneath. Tried blowing it out but no help.

Tried putting in a 3640 board and the power light did go bright green, but it does not go any further. Nothing on the screen and no keyboard blinks beyond the inital self test.

IT'S ALIVE.

Person gave me the proper jumper settings for a 3640 and it boots. Thanks to everyone for the help:

J100 3-4 ext
J102 2-3 int
J103 1-2
J104 2-3 ext

EXCELLENT! You have no idea how inspirational it is to hear that, especially as I've been doing the "one last try" thing regularly: like every 2 years for the past 6 years

So your on-board 68030 is dead, but it boots with a CPU card? Strange.

Don't worry, it would have never gone to the dump. Just to France.
