Hi All-
edit-
The mouse I shocked was an old GoldenImage optical mouse (the kind that requires an optical grid mousepad). I got to thinking maybe I zaped the electronics in the mouse, so I unpluged it and the A4000 booted right up. Last night when I asked for help I was relly feeling low, today I could tap-dance down the hall. Running old hardware is way too exciting.

edit- last night I wrote the below-
I was about to show off my A4000 to a kid who had never heard of such a thing when I reached for the mouse and the screen went blank. CTRL+Amiga+Amiga had no effect, turn it off and on gave me a power light and a few seconds of hard drive rattling and then a "no signal" warning from my LCD monitor and no further action.
I maybe remember a slight static shock when I picked up the mouse, but I could be making that part up.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Time to give up on the hardware route and start using my Amiga Forever instead?
Any advice like " Oh yes, happens all the time, just reset the frammis under the left lower widgit and you'll be alright again" would be very, very, welcome.
