Picked up a non working A4000T yesterday. Was told it did not boot and they believed it to be a software harddrive issue.
Connected it to a 1080 monitor today and tried to boot it. Floppy whirs, hard drive live flickers. CD light comes on sometimes, all the while I have a purple raster on the screen.

I always had problems with the A/V module coming loose. It's on pin header connection to motherboard, which comes loose easily. Make sure that's tight and try again, if it goes good then hot glue it or something. But I don't remember this causing purple... Though I think kickstart screen has a purple background, maybe it's not getting to draw the disk? Check your RAM is tight fitting too. Wiggle any plugins and press them tight...
