This listing is for a complete working Commodore Amiga 4000D with A3640 CPU card. The motherboard, CPU board, and Zorro board have all been recapped with mostly solid polymer caps sourced from Mouser. The SIMM slots have been replaced with good metal-tabbed sockets. No traces or solder pads needed to be repaired on this motherboard. I have provided pictures of the motherboard from the top and bottom after cap and sockets removal and cleanup to show how good it looks.
The P/S fan has been replaced with a Noctua fan. A switch for changing the PAL/NTSC jumper before power on has been installed on a card slot cover on the back. I prefer this setup on the Amiga 4000 and boot as PAL with a PAL screen mode. That mainly matters for demos and games and I find that it maximizes being able to run as many as possible before resorting to changing WHDLoad settings or using Degrader. Plus, you can easily switch back to NTSC if a card is installed like a Video Toaster. The computer will be shipped setup in NTSC modes, 640x200 as if outputting to my 1084S monitor (seen in pictures and not included in the listing). Most of the plastic and metal still looks good. Nothing has been retrobrighted, but there are a few spots that do have some mild discoloration. The space bar has a slight yellow, and the bottom of the keyboard shell has slight visible yellow around the edge, but is not that noticeable in use. The top cover and all the other keys look close to mint. The front plastic for the computer is white, with a few blemishes and scratches. The plastic on the floppy drive has a hint of yellow.
The metal cover has a few hardly noticable scratches and blemishes. The mouse is still in good shape and looks good. The keyboard and mouse both work well. The floppy drive and keyboard were both completely disassembled and cleaned. The Amiga comes with a 128GB SSD installed on a Startech IDE to SATA converter. AmigaOS 3.1 is installed (along with Escom 3.1 ROMs) along with many useful add-ons and apps for the Amiga. The boot and two other partitions were setup in WinUAE under AmigaOS 3.9. Because this is AmigaOS 3.1, scsi.device I made resident in memory on boot so all PFS3 partitions are then seen. To see the full free space and size of the storage partitions, look in Directory Opus 3 or 4 (both installed) and some apps and requesters show it (hasn't been a big deal for me although an alternative would have been to install Scalos which I didn't do this time). The partitions are full of many gigs of stuff from Aminet and Turran FTP. Plus for those who like music mods, most of the mods from Turran are in there. All keyfile and software protections I could find on Turran are also there. DiskImageGUI is installed for mounting ADF files for easily installation of apps. If you plan to upgrade for say ethernet, you might find the drivers and other apps to get you started (then you could play MUDs, chat on IRC and FTP like it's 1995!). There is also TinyLauncher which is setup with nearly all the WHDLoad games and demos.
All the recapping, replacing SIMM sockets, cleaning, setup and testing of this Amiga 4000 were done beginning in August of this year.
