Hello everyone,

haven't turned on the Amiga for a while (maybe a year) shame on me...

After turning up the system i can see the initial boot sequence, since the Amiga OS 4.1 Fe splash screen. After this, the monitor turns off with a No signal message.

I tried to boot in recovery mode and entered in the prefs program where i selected a lower resolution for the monitor.

The system now boot up to the workbench, but soon freezes.

Any help?

Kind regards

HI

Have you tried starting with no startup sequence. Then type loadwb to load workbench. If it is stable like this then check what is starting in the workbench startup folder and user-startup config file

Check if the heat sink is on properly still. I had an issue with a heat sink that came loose and that gave me similar issues.

@g01df1sh

I tried without startup sequence and played for a while with ScreenMode and Monitor. I succeeded to obtain a 1280x1024 resolution and the Amiga starts again.

i will check the air fan too, cause it's really strange. I haven't touched the Amiga for a while, but i remember last time i used it worked fine.

Your RAM may have gone a bit dusty. Try pulling it out. Check it for dirt and plug it back in. If it isn't a battery issue. I've found that the RAM goes bad after a while. Bad boots can be a warning sign.

@AmigaBlitter

Not knowing anything about the hardware you’re running on, I’ll go for the "two live chickens and a rabbi" option: check the battery.

@AmigaBlitter

If its AmigaONE-XE connect a RS232 cross over cable to it, and connect it to PC, should give some hints maybe, if has not been power up long time, the first ting to do replace the backup battery.

For Amiga1200/4000 check floppy cable, if not connected it take some time, generally disconnected everything, add one thing at the time, its maybe bad connection.

i solved the problem. The screen configuration was somehow lost.

Could this be the result of a long period of inactivity?
