Installing New GVP 4060DT Accelerator

[new2amga]

Okay still having a strange problem that occurred just before taking the A4000 to Ed.  Right in the middle of working on the A4000 it just black screens on me.  Ed was of the impression that it was the small amount of corrosion he found around the crystals.  It worked fine last night, but this morning it's doing the whole black screen thing again.  I don't know what might cause this, anyone have any ideas?

The A4000D board was dead.  Ed was kind enough to replace the board for me.  I have since got the accelerator installed and it is running very nicely.  Just thought I would finish this up.  The speed tests say the card is 45Mips I think?  It doesn't have any RAM on it yet.  I'm looking to change that soon.  Now if I could just find a PicassoIV.......

new2amiga: Well, if it is Ed Jeffries doing the repair, you should be up and running soon. He's very good. He fixed one of my 4000's, and I bought my WE-equipped 4000 from him.

Best of luck, and hope you get things sorted out soon....

Can he repair an A4000D motherboard that has a dead parallel port and non working video slot?  Think it was caused by a bad parallel port cable...

He has been very good in the past.  Are you near Kansas City?  If so, give him a call tomorrow and see what he says.  Just so you know he has been very busy lately from what i understand.  His company name is Video Lab and the business phone number is 913-403-0045.

yogisumo: I am sure that if anyone can fix your 4000, Ed could do it.  He managed to fix a weird problem affecting one of my 4000D's for years.... after the Amiga was on for any length of time, any text on screen would start to disintegrate..... He finally tracked down a problem with the 3640 card.... :confused:

Anyway, about the only potential problem, is that Ed has told me he's actually running low on some chips for repair work....

How can Jeffries be contacted?

[new2amga]

You can reach Ed Jeffries at his work number I thought I posted it.  If this is against forum rules can someone please say so?

yogisumo: I'm sure it's OK to post Ed's contact info here, pretty sure Ed wouldn't mind the business

Because I happen to have been researching some related information, and ran across his Facebook page, apparently Ed Jefferies passed on 3/14/2016.

Thank you for this information. I was preparing to contact Ed in the next week or two about doing some work for me. He had done some things in the past and he was excellent. He helped many, many people through the years with quality and affordable repair. Joe at Software Hut put me onto Ed back in the 90's.
