Title: Poor A4000Motherboard :(
Post by: Vlabguy1 on December 02, 2010, 05:23:03 PM
I recently got a A4000 desktop(alone with a bunch of other much nicer stuff :)..) and when to power her up.  Nothing happened..oh well I thought.  Then I opened the case up and looked at the MB ..and gee no wonder(see pic).. much green fuzz around where the used to be.  Not to mention the MB is completely covered in thick dust.  No big deal, I have others :-).. and at least the Warp Engine 040 card is worth saving from this machine.

I am sure a good clean up and maybe some bridging of any damaged traces can fix your a4000 motherboard. I have an A500 Plus with much more damage and within 1 hour i had it working again.

mmm.. not really interested in putting any time into the MB.  I have others, that are clean
and working .  Anyone want this MB?  Pay for shipping and its yours.

The Warp Engine is darn clean and in nearly mint condish.
