Hello all
I had my A4000 wonderfully repaired by mr Giants who did incredible work.

But unfortunately, it turns out that my CPU board (040-25) is dead...
I was wondering if you could give me some advice about what I could replace it with ?
Speed is not really important, but cost is more.

I sadly understand that there is no pistorm option for the 4000. Could I expect it to happen in some time ?
Or are there other modern alternatives I could use ?
Or am I stuck to period hardware. 030 ? 040 ? 060 ? I'm not sure about what would be compatible without costing me a leg.
I did some google search, but i'm not sure about what I really need.

I would be very happy if you could give me some advice.
Thanks

Reset Signal seems to be fine. I will get the cable for the serial output and do additional measurements and report back.

Got a few minutes to play with it tonight and it seemed to work well on IBrowse 3.0. I had to think carefully about the type of site I was trying to visit so it didn't expect me to enter any information like location for a weather forecast but on the local news sites I was able to browse stories and read in peace without a mess of garbage on the screen.

Hello from the UK.

I'm John. I bought an Amiga A500 back in 1990, an Amiga A4000/030 in 1994, and an Eyetech AmigaOne XE G4 in 2004. I still own all three, plus my brother's old A500.

I became the proud owner of one of the new Commodore C64Us back in December, which lead to me getting my old CBM Plus/4 back up-and-running. From there, it was inevitable I'd begin restoring my Amigas to working order. Until recently, I hadn't used an Amiga in maybe 15 years, although I've kept an eye on what's been going on with the Amiga as I used to be quite active in the community in the 90s/00s. In particular, I wrote for Suite101 and some of the Amiga magazines in the post-Commodore era.

Last month, I disassembled the A4000/030 to check everything was okay. No visible damage, coin battery is intact (there's also an external Lithium one that has been added, but which is now dead), everything looked in good condition albeit a little dusty. I know the battery and capacitors can be sources of problems, so not sure if it needs someone more experienced to check them out. Reassembled it (I forgot how awkward the CV64's scandoubler was to fit back), and powered it up with no problems - boots just fine and everything seems to check out. I've found some Kickstart 3.1 ROMs that I bought years ago and never installed, ordered a copy of AmigaOS 3.2, and now looking at switching out the hard drives for something like CF.

Today I did the same for the AmigaOne. Everything looks fine and it powers up, but there's no video output. I read somewhere that it could be as simple as a dead coin battery, so I'm going to buy a replacement tomorrow and try again to see if that works. If that's the issue, I think next step is to sort out some more RAM, replace the hard disk, and get AmigaOS 4 up to the latest version.

Anyway, good to be back :-)
