Hi pekmez! I've got a non-working A4000 tower too :(
Only person that fixes Amiga's in the US anymore is Ed Jeffries', Video Lab. You caould just do a search here, or on amiganews.de for his phone #, etc... But, be aware, according to Ed, he is running out of working chips, etc. Assuming it is a hardware prob. , of course.
Maybe post as much info as you have about your A4KT, and heck, your A1200 too, while you're at it :)

well the a1200 is a nice little machine: phase 5 060 with the scsi controller, 64mb ram, I think a 500mb internal hd, one of those external adapters plug it into a vga monitor, pcmcia ethernet card so a very functional computer :) too bad the operator kinda sucks right now :)
I hope that once I start using them it will come back to me!
the 4000 tower is also a phase 5 060 machine, 128 mb ram, with toaster/flyer 4000, tbc 4, cybervision video card, ariadne 2 ethernet card, 2gb hard drive, and USED to have a big foot power supply wich died and caused my troubles :(
I have read in the past that there is a person in France who does wonderful work....but man the shipping to Europe alone will kill me!
I do also have 3 a2000 with various hardware, so yes I was and still am an Amiga fanatic :)

Both the 1200 and 4000 running '060s, sweet!
and USED to have a big foot power supply wich died and caused my troubles :(
If it's just a powersupply problem, there's got to be some local electrical fixit shop that can refurbish the unit. Don't take it to a small computer repair guy, he'll tell ya to buy a new one. Then you have to explain things about Amigas while they sit there with a blank expresion on their face....
which secretly means, "I don't know how to use a soldering iron." ;)
