Wanted: 4000D Motherboard
Hi,
new here! Have had a 4000D in storage for a couple of years (the battery had leaked prior to my ownership, but all was working fine). Now, when I try to boot, I variously get a Green or Yellow screen on bootup and so it seems the minor corrosion that had occured has now had a physical impact on chips/tracks. If anyone has a working mobo going spare, I'd be very interested. Thanks! |

Yellow? isn't that CPU board error? Make sure it hasnt jumped out of its little socket =)
Green is chip ram. This is a normal SIMM usually. Make sure it too is in its little socket. heh http://wiki.classicamiga.com/Amiga_b...r_code_colours If all else fails, I'd love to buy that board from you. Don't throw it away in any case. |

Yeah - tried all the knowledge-base suggestions I could find for these errors, but no positive result, unfortunately.
Deffo won't be throwing the board away as I was hoping for a repair-option or part-exchange for a working one. Will certainly let you know if I get a replacement and when I'll be selling it... Cheers! |

You can probably sent it to amigakit for repairs unless someone here is willing. I can't really do any major operations that will most likely be needed. I just change caps and do minor repairs =)

As Turran said, probably best send it to AmigaKit or someone else in the UK for repair. Most likely not a big fault. As a last resort I can also take a look.

Hi, thanks for the replies and yes, I have tried, several times, to get Amigakit interested in a repair.
I have emailed them numerous times to ask whether, with a list of the problems, a fix was possible. All I have ever received is an automated reply telling me that someone would be in touch - sadly, in over a year, no one has... |

@RichyV
Hi Please pmail me here and I will provide the email address of our Technician. We would most probably need to see the board to ascertain the problems and advise further from there onwards. Thank you. |
