Dead A4000?
« on: February 03, 2008, 11:54:30 PM »
Hello again,
Sorry to keep coming up with more dissapointing crap as it seems i'v been very unlucky recently, though this time something more serious has happend. I recived an A4000/040 fairly recently but havn't had the time to set it up completely until now and noticed it doesn't boot up at all. The floppy LED stays on but nothing else. I hear the HD boot up too but not actually reading anything. I'v taken out the CV64 and all the RAM cards but it makes no difference. If tried all i can but im just stuck what to do now and having to resort to outside help. Has anyone got any ideas?

Yes but this machine wont boot up, even without the card inserted so it can't be that.

Do I see an 030? I don't quite catch you on that. But I will have another good look at the 040 board, would you know who I can send it to to get repaird if needed?
Oh and if it is the contacts, what should I clean them with?

Well I looked at them all but I cant see any real signs of leeky caps, they all look ok but im worred that the sound has gone iffy and it keeps yellow screening when I installed new SIMM RAM. Not to mention it comes up with various different RAM sizes upon startup but never the right ammount (8MB).
