	Twisting the Amiga's case often helps in this type of situation.
	This isn't a by-the-book technique to be sure... Apparently, the
	left-right twisting action "re-seats" the Fat Agnus chip in it's
	socket.... although the proper way is to pull the Agnus out and
	then re-insert it.  This may not relate to your problem at all,
	but many boot-up difficulties can be overcome by "the twist".

	-MP-

	BTW, a special tool is needed to remove the Agnus without
	damaging it or the socket...  good luck.
