consult your Amiga software documentation for
guidance.

Startup Problems
Problems
starting
up
the
system from a power-off
state
are
the
most
common sources of confusion for new users.
This
most often
results
from simple
mistakes
in
setting
up
the
system. Actual
hardware
failure is a less
frequent
cause.
Check
the
following
if
your Amiga does
not
respond
when you
turn
it
on:
•
Is
the
Amiga plugged
in
to a power source
of
the
correct voltage?
•
Is
the
monitor plugged
in
to a power source
of
the
correct
voltage?
•
Is
the
monitor connected to
the
Amiga?
•
Are
both
the
monitor
and
the
Amiga
turned
on?
•
If
the
Amiga is plugged
in
to a multiple-outlet power strip, is
the
power
strip
plugged in,
turned
on,
and
working properly?
• Are
the
monitor
and
the
monitor cable
known
to work correctly?
•
Is
the
monitor
of
a type capable
of
displaying
the
Amiga's video
output?
•
Is
the
monitor
set
to accept
the
Amiga's
default
video mode?
•
Is
the
monitor securely connected
to
the
main
unit?
