Bootup Problem

[Luigi301]

My 520ST has decided it doesn't like me and won't boot. When I turn it on, I get black and white horizontal stripes across the screen. What do I do?

Go look on Ebay?

 

 

But barring that...maybe open up your comp and reseat your memory and whatever other chips if possible. Pop out and clean any edge connector cards ( if it has any, I cant remember ). Leave it on for a bit and see if any chip ( other than the cpu ) gets HOT. A hot chip usually means a bad chip. BE CAREFUL poking around with the power on, and DO NOT WEAR YOUR TINFOIL SUIT.

I fixed it. The ROMs unseated themselves somehow. A quick push down and it's working.

Although tinfoil gloves are recommended if you are an Amiga fan... j/k
