A4000 getting flaky- need a quick checklist

@Zac67

How long do those capacitors last? The short silver/black ones? And do they die quicker if you use the computer more? If your Amiga isn't turned on for awhile do they still "age" and potentially leak?  Just curious!

Thanks

@Zac67,

thanks for the detailed info.  On my A4000 desktops and on my A4000T all of the caps look to be in good condition.  The A4000T was manufactured 1997 but is not turned on that much - the board looks in "new" condition...so I hope it lasts alot longer

The A4000's have been used more but the caps still look good...knock on wood...hopefully they last a few more years The room temperature in my apartment is normally around 19-26C depending on the season.  Right now because we are getting closer to winter (first snow fall today!) it's around 20C...
