[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] A3000 sees too many floppies

I got my brand new A3000 set it up and booted it, and every thing
looked OK, but it showed four floppy drives.  I thought this was
peculiar because I only have one drive.  The names for the disks in
the non-existant drives were garbage values.

I called my loccal service center and he said that he though it was a
jumper J351, which should be off.  So I opened my A3000 up and
switched the jumper.  Now it shows four floppies, but doesn't
recognize any disks.  So I am switching it back, but now I called my
service center and he says that I need a new motherboard.  I do not
want to be separated from my new computer that long, and he is an hour
away.  Does anyone know what is wrong and do I really need another
mother board?
