mine lasts since 1994.

I don't know it's rock solid but they sure rock! Especially that power switch push rod - even today it's hi-tech design makes me laugh like this :roflmao:

I must admit, when I first opened up my A4000 and saw that, I did wonder for a few moments if it was meant to be like that...

A picky point, but concerning DanDude

Clean any acid-infected surface with isopropyl alcohol only!

It's _alkali_ not acid.  NiCds leak alkali (still corrosive though) Redrumloa has ebay auctions where he sells NiMH batteries that are the same size and voltage and solder right in place of the old ones.  Maybe you can do a deal directly with him for less?  Tell him I sent you.  (like that will help any :-) )

One other thing, a number of the A4000s were made with a 3.0 kickstart, you'll want to make sure that you get a 3.1 kickstart.

Rather a BIG number... My A4000 is dated January 14th 1994 (almost end of production) and it has 3.0 Kick.

Was there ever a C= Amiga that was shipped with 3.1 roms? AFAIR, only Escom/Amiga Technologies models were. Not 100% sure though.

I think that C= only sold 3.1 upgrade kits (roms + OS3.1 disks).

And new, those upgrade kits were incredibly expensive
