What happened to the bottom cover? I have a hole there in mine and I'm not sure I want to buy second floppy just to close it...
 
-original PSU is 100 percent better like your new atx , only new caps need thats all
-battery ? better choice is coin cr2032 like old dangerous for future damage NiMH accu
-did you replace capacitors on mobo ?
-did you clean mobo after caps leak ?
retrobight not enough for long life :-)

Answers:
1-I don't think so, but i just want to do in that way...:D
2-Well I just want to keep it like original but if i want, i can add later, not problem at all.
3-All them are in good condition, if i have a problem later i will replace them, like i usually do on others systems like Sega GameGears.
4-There was no caps leak on the mobo, only on the powersupply.
5-I prefer the Hydrogen Peroxide.
 
3. ? really ? I don't think so
this is your mobo caps near RTC , look there , 4,7uf low pad is corroded ! :-)

I suspect rest area look same or worse
please make me photo audio area
exactly 22uf

if you want same PSU quality like original then you must PAY big money for new ATX my friend believe me

sorry , but I think your Amiga 4000 restoration is not complete


think about that what I said
