Test the power rails for proper voltage levels as a start.

Next do a good push on the socketed chips. With the Amiga opened, take your chances to clean everything and check for battery leakage on the memory expansion.

If no avail, you need to pinpoint what chip has go south. Only swapping 'em with another working machine, of course.
