Greetings.
I have a guy in Sweden who does repairs, but hes very busy, so I'd though I'd check if someone near (EU) would have the possibility to try and repair 3 motherboards (to start with).
1 A3000 Motherboard. Worked fine until I removed the roms to make a copy. Copy went fine but when I put the kickstarts back in, I only get a red picture. Tried soldering new kickstart sockets in but no go. Tried with other (original) roms as well. Roms are 3.1 (worked before). This is my only A3000 and I was VERY sorry to see it die. One of those "Noooo" moments =)
1 A4000 Motherboard. No picture. According to the previous owner, something shorted in the RGB port in the back and it was dead after that.
1 A4000 Motherboard. Massive batterydamage it seems. I can not see any broken traces with the naked eye but the green film is corroded on quite a large area. I do not think this is salvageable, but if you are willing to have a look at it, I can sent it as well.
Preferably, I only need the send the motherboards and you have access to the PSU etc to test with.
I can fix easier things, but these three goes beyond my knowledge.
Thanks!
Please also answer by PM if possible, so I do not miss anything.
