If it were only the green screen, this is quite often (but not always)
just a bad contact of one of the bigger chips (Fat Agnus eg) in their
sockets. If you dare to open your Amiga, just push the chips tight into
their sockets and try again.

This helped already in some cases, but the flashing light you mention
makes me less sure...
