CDTV boot problems

astuermer · 25 May 2005, 13:11

Hello
Changed my Apollo 2030 against a CDTV (the owner told me it worked and sent me photos). But when switching it on, nothing happens. Sometimes a red screen appears, but most of the time only a black screen.

In addition to that, it sounds like the CD-Rom drive is resetting itself all 10 seconds...

Anyone any idea?

If there is something wrong with your system you may see the following colours.

* Red: An error was found in the ROM.
* Green: An error was found in Chip ram.
* Blue: An error was found in the custom chips.
* Yellow: The CPU has found an error before the error trapping software (Guru) has been activated.

These problems could be caused by a number of things such as a loose chip or board. The red screen may be caused by a loose Kickstart chip that can be fixed by pressing down on the ROM to check it is fitted correctly. Another cause could be a connection problems between the chip and socket that can be solved by straightening an bent pins. Alternatively, the green screen could be caused by a loose memory board, SIMM, or a loose RAM chip on the memory board. If reattaching these chips do not solve the problem, try them on another Amiga.

Works!

The KickROM 1.3 and the Agnus were faulty.
Exchanged them with the ones from my A2000.
Thanks!
