Hi all,
I just received an A4000/40 that I bought off of craigslist. It has 3.0 roms, 2chip, 16fast, and boots into workbench fine.
I snipped the battery from the motherboard as soon as I got it (it had not leaked at all).
The motherboard and daughterboard both look to be in excellent condition, however, I cannot get any Zorro cards to autoconfig.
I've tried a PicassoII, an EB920 Network card, and some various ram boards and none ever show up in the Early Startup. The cards all work fine in my A3k.
Are there any standard things to check in order to diagnose this?
I found this website: http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/a4000hard/excrdnot.html that has a fix for broken traces on the daughtercard, but honestly it seems a bit beyond my skillset.
As a last resort, anyone in the Tacoma/Seattle area good at diagnosing problems and handy with a soldering iron? 
Thanks,
C6
It sounds like it may be the daughter card that is messed up. I had a 4000 that did not read cards either and I bought a new one online and it works great now. I live in Tacoma so if you get desperate we can try a daughter card from my 4000 in your machine to see if it works for you!
