Title: I think I'm going to be sick...A4000 died.
Post by: LaPTuNa on November 14, 2003, 06:25:11 PM

Well, after changing to battery on the board, she never came back. I almost shed a tear. Anyone in the Dallas area still work on amigas?
I have tried all the usual trouble shooting (since I work on peecees everyday). Im just SICK! Point me to someone who can revive her that wont ask for my first born.

Thanks,
Michial

This is a long shot, but...

Have you made sure that you've tightly screwed in the motherboard screws to the case, once you put the motherboard back into the case after replacing the battery? I've heard from an ex-Amiga repair guy here in Toronto that the A4000 mobo was designed to be grounded through the case itself and the grounding "path" was through the screws. I've never confirmed this though, but you never know...try it and see. Tighten those screws and fire it up.
