Just a hunch, but my years of repairing experience are telling me that the capacitor in the pic just may be a good place to start.

Agreed.  I found this after realizing the floppy drive was dead.  Took the whole machine apart.  Burned/melted through the plastic insulator and metal started to rust.  So it has been this way for quite sometime.  Not sure if this Cap is what did the floppy drive in.  Either way it needs work and I have some more testing to make sure this cap didn't do more damage ie the processor card etc.

What do you expect, it's an Amiga 4000. :rolleyes:
 
My advice:  Dump that piece of crap on eBay and get some money for it.

There's the Doomy we all know!!!:laugh1:

**Update** Finally got around to pulling pieces from another A4000.  Turns out the
processor card(A3640) is bad.  Despite the fried cap the mother board works with a good
processor.  But Im sure that bad cap effects some functionality.  At least the MB isn't
completely shot.

Thanks all.
