Bummer.  Got photos of the small diode or damage areas?

The low cost solution would be to take the motherboard to local electronics repair shop (and i mean some dude that fixes TVs for instance) those parts are standard, get someone to solder a new one and see if it boots then.  or try soldering yourself once you get the part.
At worst, he should be able to take measurements and provide the part.

What pcb area are you talking about?  the gold / copper ones next to 8520?

The disk drives (see the other thread) are $28.   The Disk Drives work also on any amiga.  I have disk drives with faceplates too if interested.  These are only $22.
Will see if i can get some info about A4000T.  Meanwhile, your low low cost is getting the missing part from local electronics repair shop.  They can do the job for you i bet for low cost.  Soldering that is like 30 seconds.
ANY other symptons you had on your Amiga 4000T ? did it boot at all?  or just went on & off?
Don't forget ALICE chip gets really hot so you need low profile heatsink for it - drop me an email if you don't have one.
