A friend requests help -

Situation:

	1.  Friend (accidentally) plugged in a printer cable (parallel port)
AFTER powering up his Amiga 2500/30.  (He DID know better, but had the
power switch toggled the wrong way...)

	2.  It immediately gurued (number unknown) and now won't boot. 
(It goes dark screen-light gray screen-white screen and then stops, hangs.) 
;^(

	3.  So, he probably fried a chip.

Question:

	Which chip or chips did he probably fry, and how can we fix things?
(We have folks with soldering, chip-pulling, and multitesting experience. ;^))

	Can anyone offer part names/numbers of the probable offender(s),
suggested test routines, average prices to expect to pay for parts?

Thanks in advance.
