A4000 recap

[JetSetIlly]

Hi,

 

I have a couple of A4000s that miraculously haven't leaked. Obviously, I need to get onto a recap and battery replacement as soon as possible.

 

What's the best source of information for Amiga motherboard care? These are Revision B motherboards.

 

Cheers

There are some recap services on Ebay. Pretty cheap. Just search for amiga 4000 recap.

Are you looking for information on doing it yourself, or on people who do repairs? I have a list of some people who do repairs and recaps here: http://robthenerd.com/amiga/repairers

 

If you're looking for information on doing it yourself, there are a couple of good resources:

 

John Hertell's Recapping Guide gives advice on many aspects of replacing capacitors. Covers the A1200 but the A4000 is broadly similar with respect to capacitors.

Ikod's Capacitor Lists gives part numbers and quantities for the capacitors on the different Amiga model motherboards.

Amiga PCB Explorer has interactive maps of various Amiga motherboards, very useful for tracing signals for troubleshooting, trace repairs etc.

Amiga Vector Schematics has various Amiga model schematics redrawn in vector format.

Fantastic. I wanted to have a crack at doing it myself so these are brilliant resources. Thanks.
