I had something similar on an A500 - try pressing down on each of the socketed chips, they may have worked loose.

I think we can say that at least your CPU is working (the blinking power LED).

One option is to swap components between these two A2000s - either to locate the fault, or to bring your old machine up to the spec of the other one :)

As you're getting some action from the machine, it sounds like only one component is bad. I'd expect a repair to be cheap(ish).
