got a sick s-3000 that won't turn on. well it turns on, but

Anyone know what's going on? this is the original (1993) s3000 not the s3000XL

Basically, I had to open her up to do some glue work on buttons, y'know, those annoying blue/grey ones that break and just hang in there but this time the ENT/PLAY button was un pressable!

but while all this was happening, one day (well now) I go up to turn it on and the buttons don't light up, the screen doesn't power up (even checked the contrast knob was pushed on) .. it's just died. -

but there's obviously power going into it some how cause I received an angry electric shock when I was fingering just behind the power switch button! luckly it was probably just a 12v shock but even so! put me on edge for the next few minutes.


When you power it off you get the typical natural squeeky type noise to know it's powering down. The fuse by at the top left (transformer area) is still ok. I tried pressing down all chips and ribbon cable sockets! still nothing. Even without the floppy drive connected, still nothing!

HELLLLLLLLP!

I found out what the problem is, the reason for it not powering up. But now a new problem, I can't get passed the 'waiting for hard disk [skip]' part.

Is this because of this scsi board I put in? I dont want to have to take it out because I recently bought a new zip drive. In the passed I've been able to just skip it.

Ok all sorted now, I guess.

forgot to mention I had the SCSI board for it too, I think it was looking for my zip drive that I had previously had in there from 1 year ago. Forgot I even had a zip drive. Still, I'm surprised it wouldn't let you skip it (maybe a software bug or just me being a dumbass as usual). nevermind all ok now.
