Following my recent post, the A4000 arrived on Friday. Yesterday I had the opportunity to peer under the bonnet and was shocked to find two things..

a) Battery corrosion!

Get that battery off of there!  Then do the cleanup measures that other users on here suggest.

For replacing the battery, another option is to do what I did with my A4000T.  Jumper pins were soldered in place of the battery.  Then it is connected to the board via wires and the battery itself is velcro'ed to the bottom of my tower case as far away from the motherboard as possible.  This also makes it very easy to replace again in the future if needed.
