Hi folkz !
Yesterday I was playing TECHNOCOP WHD Load version. After I came back from supper, there was just a black screen, and nothing more. I tried to reset, but the same here. The mashine is reseting all the time. The HDD will not accessed, but it seems OK, cause I hear it on the start, but it will not be mounted from the system. It is also not possible to enter the early start up screen.
I have allready removed my 060, but the same. So the 060 seems OK.

What can I do now ? I think the mainboard is dead, but how could I test it ?

But it could also be the RAM, cause I get a short red or green flash during power on. But sadly I have no spare RAM.

It is just a nano second of red or green, no long signal.
Maybe someone could also tell me what thoose colors are about ?

PLEASE HELP ME !

Red: An error was found in the ROM.
Green: An error was found in Chip ram.

Basically just remove everything in the system

Accellerators
Busboards
Harddrives
ide buffers

Until you have just the base A1200. Then try to see if it works.

Then just start putting components back on bit by bit, testing while you do it

Also try cleaning your edge connectors with a pencil rubber

check your PSU, if possible borrow / use a spare.
