Hi Guys,
I recently acquired a PowerTower with A4000D and PCI busboard. The tower works fine with the fitted A3640 card but the original owner gave me his DCE Cyberstorm card even though he had problems with it.
I tried the card in the system and got nothing but an initial gray screen. The front panel lights for hard drive and power didn't even come on. I've tried the card with and without RAM. And I populated each slot with same size/manufacturer SIMMs. Then I tried just two slots starting at 0 from but both from another but same manufacturer.
It seems like the card is good and dead. Are there any repair options available in addition to the Amiga Center in France? Can he now do repairs to the 604e(replace)?
Thanks for the info.

if the system doesn't starts at all, most likely is the 68K part (or better the 060 socket) and is fixable.
Try to push gently on the 060 chip during the boot .... if it starts, is a cold solder/s on the 060 socket.
Good luck!
