Need A4000 Motherboard
« on: April 16, 2004, 08:32:54 PM »
Right, I have just got my A4000 motherboard back from repair to fix the mangled sound, and it is STILL completely screwed, so I need to get a new motherboard. Preferably one with Buster11 but I basically have no idea what I am looking for and I have virtually no money now as in total it has cost me £250 for basically a large ****ing paperweight, so I am short on paitence and temper as well as cash, that also being cash that I couldn't afford to spend in the first place.

So basically, if anyone has a spare board, or they think they can fix mine, can you please post.

Frankly I would rather not use eBay, this is how all of the problems start.

I sent it off to have the 16v 22uF capasitors replaced, which he has done, but it had no effect. That was all the repair was for.

No, a standard TV repair bloke as all I was told I needed to do was replace the caps so I just found the easiest person to do it. There isn't anyone around here that knows how to repair Amigas, so that wasn't an option.

No thanks, I'm sourcing out a new board instead. There was no obvious leaking on the board, so I assume the cap replacement would fix it, but nevermind.

If thats the case send it back and tell them you want it fixed seeing as thats what they were paid to do.


Please read the rest of the thread.

what make you think, that it is the capacitor/s the cause?


General census from experienced people.

At this point, try yourself to replace it.


Replace what? I have just had all the 22uF caps replaced, doing it again would be pointless.

This is rather odd. Playing music with EaglePlayer works fine, which is really quite strange as it must use some sort of manually created channels for the sound. (don't say I must now have a software problem because the problem is always there other than that point, even on self booting games).

Sorry, I'm doing an (almost) stright swap with someone else, but thanks for the offer.

The tracks with Eagle are the same songs, at the same volume, which is why it is wierd...
