hi folks,

first at all sorry for my bloddy english.

i grabbed my old A2000 out of the edge and wanted to put it under work
again.

after first switch on of the a2000 i got a scrambled "blue" screen.
i retried and retriyed.
after it it changed to yellow with the power led blinking an no guru error
code.
so i opend the device.
the battery was leak.
i changed it today.
put all the custom chips from the board and cleand the pins.
reassembled the unit.

first boot up without problems.
but now after i took it of for a while it always restarts with the same
symtoms as above.

but sometimes it goes into booting mode or guru meditation ooooc or 00004
error code.

after trying to boot a programm it works for a while and the unit resettes
automaticly.

any suggestions?

where can i find a manual for guru codes and a repair manual for a2000 and
perhaps for future use of collecting the old garbage for the other old amiga
systems.

regards,
ingo rose

Hi, here are some basic informations about the colors you've at startup :

* Red : Failed Test ROM Error
* Green : CHIP RAM error (reset AGNUS and re-test)
* Blue : Custom Chip(s) Error
* Yellow : 68000 error detected before software trapped it

Also the Caps lock light will/may blink to diagnose some elements.

* One Blink ROM Checksum failure
* Two blinks RAM test failed
* Three Blinks Watchdog timer failed (keyboard out of order)


Hope this will help you
