Guys, I don't get it, why there is now a discussion about banned users. I also don't need a re-amiga board - if that will be the case, I will
write my intention to do so in here. At the moment, I rather would like to find the solution for my A4000 hardware-problem and I was just curious
if there was an outcome to this story...
I will go on try to find the issue(s) and if I found it, I will let a comment in this thread, so it could help somebody with a similar issue.
This is for sure more in the intention of this forum, than to start discussions about other users behaviour - stay technical or stay away, please!
Thanks to anyone willing to help. Cheers!

RE the banned user....

It's not his first ban & is probably best left without any further explanation tbh....

Do you have another PSU you can you try?

DigitalKeeper @ post #12 makes some interesting & meaningful statements RE reset not going high from low causing a black screen. You should see the A4KD's LED power light do this.

Right, I should see the power led going from half-bright to full-bright - unfortunately, that doesn't happen. I will test with an other psu and will move the tick signal to internal.
Will report, after tested - but still waiting for the connector-cable...
Thanks anyway for your suggestions! Any idea is welcome and will also hopefully help others.

I've seen accelerator cards do this to Amiga 4K's & 1200's.

Check your Oscillator X-Tals are fully functioning.

Example: DKB Mongoose @ 40Mhz would only run from separate X-Tals. IE, one for the CPU & one for the FPU. I had to reflow this card's two X-Tal's to get it to work on their own X-Tal's. In the card's earlier life, someone messed it up by de-soldering the sockets already fitted to the board. This ruptured the Via's through the PCB substrate.

Once I'd done this, the Amiga 1200 Power LED went bright from it's Dim reset mode.

Tick & such was A3K-ville iirc. - I could be wrong but there are plenty of members around here reading this & they will help if they can.

Guys,
I just want to let you know, that in my case, a defective chip kept the CPU-Reset line low, so the CPU didn't came up and therefore no Led-Change was visible since the CPU stayed in Reset. The defective chip was U140 and a broken Cap under the Alice-Chip. After replacing also the crystal, the board came up again!
