My a3000 died this morning, after I turned it off, waited a few seconds and
turned it back on, it will no longer boot. The kickstart menu displays
without pressing both mouse buttons with the harddisk option ghosted over.
When I select boot 2.0/floppy, a message that says "Error can't get memory,
Reboot system" is displayed. I opened the box up and pushed all the ram
chips in, same thing. BTW it was working fine for several weeks after I
inserted ram chips. Any help before I take it to a dealer?
Mark,
I'd say don't even bother…take it to the dealer's.
My first suspicion would be bad RAM, my second would be mouse
and/or mouse port (and associated circuitry).

Thats what I am sure I will have to do, it just happened at a bad time, no
dealer access until tuesday, I thought if it was something simple I could
do it mysel I think that the ramsey chip went bad. Thanks.
