Don't know what your electronics skills are like, but if you don't mind getting your hands dirty its worth taking a look at the videos by RetroGameModz on youtube, he's done a couple of 4000 and 1200 videos covering video faults I think.  Knowing the 4000 and 1200 it's most likey the surface mounted capacitors.  Take a close look at your motherboard and look around the capacitor cans for any signs of leakage - if you see anything that looks like leakage that cap will 100% need replacement.

Cheers for that! I will see if I can find the youtube videos. I thought it mught be a cap or a resistor so hopefully the videos will show me where to look :)

Yes, the most common fault on these 4000's and 1200's (and 600's for that matter...) is the surface mounted caps.  Worth looking at the PCB to see if any have leaked.
