White screen and still no boot can have two reasons: On a plain 1040 ST, it could well be the computer has no ROM-TOS installed and wants to load the OS from disk, then what you're seeing is entirely normal (ST tries to read the OS from disk but fails). Check you have a ROM TOS, and if not, prepare a TOS boot disk. In case you have a ROM TOS, I would (again) check the ROMs, remove them, give them another thorough cleaning and firmly re-insert. | |

After pulling all socketed chips and cleaning with contact cleaner I now have a pure white video output, key click audio, and disk activity, but no desktop. Farthest I got with any disk is a crash with 2 bombs. I have tested the drive on another machine, so I know the drive and floppy disk are all good. So, memory problem? | |
