Yeh, have owned the X5K since 2016 so is a record for me, to keep an Amiga-based system that long. haha
I have been tempted before, as you know, to sell and move on but something keeps me here, hoping, wishing, for better things to come.
Just my nature being a more positive bloke and not resting on negative, it has been hard for me to keep excited about the platform, but I continue to try.
Thanks for the words about the browser. I continue to hope of good things to come.
**Hold the help.. appears my TV I used it on could be the issue. Weird! **
** Yeh, TV was the issue. Never had a TV where all worked other than HDMI ports. I reset TV and all is well **
Here is a video of the video I am getting.
Looking for tips on things to try.
Here is the story so far.
Would appreciate any help.

My AmigaOne X5K will no longer boot.
Story is, I redecorated my office months ago and unplugged it from power. Don't remember how long but guessing lack power cord being connected for a month or two.
Get this flickering green video on turning on my X5K.
Replaced the CR2032 battery, although the existing one was still well over 3v so that should not be the issue.
Disconnected and reseated my video card, a Radeon 7750. Same video issue.
Love the idea of Haiku being a past BeOS user. Even owned 2 or 3 BeBox in the day.
I have tried Haiku but on my current i7 based 2014 system, it boots but lack of sound and could not seem to get opensound, or whatever to work, and sound has always been an issue with any computer I tried Haiku on.
If there comes a day that Haiku can easily install, without a special boot menu like grub and just boot up straight on a modern Ryzen based system, I would not mind using Haiku daily.
Maybe someone more knowledgeable in how to get Haiku working on all cylinders has fun with it but for me, I just want it to be as easy to install and boot on a modern computer w/o having to decommission this file and grab another to make sound work and all that jazz.
Shipping is just not on the list for now. All glass case... and carriers allowed (read their fine print) to be able to drop a box from over 2' high and goods inside supposed to handle it. Been there, done that.
Just not willing to chance a package that arrives dropped and damaged, unless buyer wants to take full responsibility and costs for that. I know I am not.
Decided it is time for me to sell my last remaining Amiga-based product and therefore I am putting my AmigaOne X5000 up for sale.
Checked with various dealer's websites and no one seems to be selling them anymore so figure someone may want to buy a good used one.
Here is a video I made in 2019 and most of what I have remains the same with small changes that can be shown in a new video for the buyer or can be seen at pickup time.
Sorry folks, local pick up only so the nearer you are to Northern California, the better. Not interested in shipping as shippers are way to harsh on big expensive computers these days. I know that will limit the buyers, if there are any, but such is life. And no, will not sell board only unless you want to pay the same full price as I will not sell at discount. Prefer to sell as a complete working system.
If you are interested, send me a PM and we can go from there. The video will tell you a bit but I can cover more via a good old fashion phone call too.
$2250 mostly as you see in the video. Even have the original Thermaltake box still so you will get that. Mouse and keyboard and all that you use your own. This will be for the computer itself with a power cord and software that came with my X5K as purchased from Amiga on the Lake.
