Df0 ???

[David Wright]

On my 4000. Switched three drives, even Gotek (which worked earlier)
Different cables also tried.

What gives,bad chips,capacitors or just unlucky?

cable placement?
the 4k requires the df0 to be first on the cable (before the twist)

On a A4000 you can make the external drive as DF0 (internal) by changing the jumper J352 on the motherboard from INT to EXT. You might have to disconnect power to your internal drive. I have not done it but have seen it posted. It is another test you can make to help trouble shoot.

I've used the two mouse hold down at start to change the int drive to the ext drive

but never the jumper j352 (I can't even find it) please show it to me?

the J351 is for the add df1:

This is first pic attachment I am trying?

I am about to give up. There is something more going on with mine. I know get it recapped.

Fried one drive, (burned two resistors), probably in my haste putting power cable on wrong, not sure.
I have tried three  drives and a Gotek and none work. The Gotek used to, now nothing.

Is this some how related? Even after installing the new psu if I unplug and replug or move cables around the system refuses to boot without a long rest powered down. This has been going on since I got the 4000. A short?

Related? I don't know. most dfo issues I've seen are cable related..

pin 1 backwards , wrong placement on cable, cable not placed correctly on motherboards pins.

power cable added backwards and frying the drive...

I have done my fair of stupid impetuous mistakes but I have been really diligent in making sure the cables are lined up correctly and on pin 1.
The power wrong is only an assumption because of the baked floppy board. Possible when you do something 50 times in every configuration in a short time.

The computer not booting for a while perplexes me. It was doing that when I got it.
Unhook everything, put it away for a week, and doesn't either power up right away (one time) or normally won't boot until a time passes.

Sorcery I tell you.

Did you try making your external drive as DF0 (boot drive)
start up time see:
