Now I really feel like an idiot.

I went to install the replacement Amiga 2000 power supply, and discovered that I’d plugged the original power supply into the motherboard incorrectly, with the connector off-by-one. d’oh!

The original works fine:
Kickstart 2.0 Boot Screen

At least now I have a spare, and it only cost me $12.

    Question - I notice you have it hooked to an LCD. Do you have a scan doubler or such on there? It syncs at 15Mhz and normally does not work on normal CRT VGA monitors without one. Do the LCDs sync down that low?

    Sean, the machine has a FlickerFixer installed.

    At least you didn’t fry the motherboard which is quite good news :)
