    A4000 - coming back to life

    This saturday, i take my A4000 from home and travel 230km to a friend's home so he could do some work in a dead A4000.
    Mouse+keyboard+sound it's working, the rest is ok.

    we changed a lot of capacitors, but we need more 2 to finnish it. the Board and the A3640 had a lot of leak, some chips near the battery were in realy bad shape, so he is doing the best he can.
    Fingers crossed.

    I hope you manage to resurrect it to full working order.

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    My friend Jorge Pedro was able to fix joystick port and horizontal+buttons on mouse, but still no vertical movement.
    The Board works fine on the rest, but not very stable. He is doing the best he can, but it's difficult. I don't know what to do after it, if the
    board will not be fine. Sending it to a professional price+shipping (go and return) is about 100 euros.... and i am not totaly sure that it can be repaired... i dont know... i just hope my friend can bring it back to life.
