A little while ago I purchased an A4000T, which survived a transatlantic shipping process quite well. I fired it up when I received it and it worked fine. Booted up from the SCSI HD, no problem. Used it for an hour and then put it away.

Today I pull it apart, fit an Indivision Mk2 and fire it up.

Black screen. Uh-oh.

I have disconnected the SCSI HD and CD-ROM (leaving the cable in place, terminated). No joy.

I have removed the SIMMS from the motherboard. Still no joy.


Between it working originally and today, it hasn't been touched.

When I power it up, there's the tiniest 'click' from the speaker a few seconds after power on. If I press Caps Lock on the keyboard more than 12-13 times, that stops responding.

I'm going to have a cup of tea now, because I'm vexed! If you know of anything I can try, I would be most grateful. :coffee:
 
Try re-seating the Roms and CPU board.

The case can flex with the side removed and these can come a little loose.
 
I could kiss you! I gave the ROMs a squish and everything is working beautifully again :D

Thasnks very much and a Happy New Year to you! :thumbsup:
