As the tech that built this system originally ( Not positive but I think so, I built so many for so many production companies... ), it's nice that you managed to bring it back from the dead. Replacing PCB traces is never fun.... I miss the days of having Wil Wheaton come to the shop, showing off Newtek goodness! The piles of new 040 A4000's to the ceiling, the piles of A2000's 10 feet high for those who couldn't afford the A4000. Ripping the guts out of A4000 desktop's by the dozen to make tower mods.... GVP accelerator cards... TBC IV.... Toaster cards by the thousand.... Screamers! PAR! Freaking out the guy from Foundation Imaging who had a "Green Screen" by removing the harddrive and lifting the entire computer off the desk several inches and dropping it to reseat the Angus chip ( and charging him $150 for my "Expertise" ) ... Ah, the memories of the guy behind the curtain! Once upon a time in North Hollywood!
When my A1200 was DOA and we took it back to the shop the tech did exactly the same infront of me and my father and handed it back without even testing it. We thought he was taking the piss but it still works to this day :D

I am in tears of joy that this legend is back from the dead, very heart warming, thanks everyone for restoring this AMIGA 4000 to life again, this is a piece of history that I will try to visit, stay safe
Exactly. It's a piece of history, and now it's no longer eWaste, it's alive again. I had to have a lot of parts replaced too, so I know a few things about it.
This made me emotional. Just seeing that Amiga come back to life after all these years was magical to me! This is why I love your channel so much! Bravo!
The Amiga computer will always have a special place in my heart. I loved the Amiga 500 I owned during the mid to late 1980s, and the Amiga 1200 I purchased during the 1990s.
One thing I think is cool is that the camera footage is recorded with overscan. So when playing back the footage on the drive, you can see things that were filmed by the cameras, which did not make it into the cinematic cut -- the cinema edit was cropped to the large yellow box in the center. Not sure how much of that footage made it into the actual recorded film, though, because I do believe Cameron used IMAX cameras for the underwater scenes, which were full frame 4:3.
Amazing! Truly amazing! I can't imagine the joy you guys must've felt first, when you found out that this computer was used in the production of a big successful movie, than that original raw footage was still on the hard drive and finally when the machine was working again! Wow!
@@RetroRecipes My friend in LA at the time (late 90s early 00s) was a computer wiz, did a lot for me tech wise, esp. on my Amigas. God the stuff he found. An old early 80s mac full of some old-timers movie scripts - sad really, just left outside to rot along with the machine, another time a PC in car park just sitting in the corner, abandoned. it was full of bank info from a major bank, just bonkers. luckily he was a volunteer for the local PD, so wasn't going to do anything nefarious, but shows what kind of stuff ends up in the wild.
This particular machine was used on set to facilitate live video previews. Pretty much like having a PVR running alongside the film camera, which means you could rewind the footage you just shot to review it, or even shoot scenes as "video only" for dry run rehearsals.
It's kinda cool to come across vintage computers that have a history. I bought an Atari ST 1040f off ebay that came with a mix of floppies. In the disks I found a set that had a all the chapters to a book (including the bak'd files of edits). I looked up the book on amazon and the publishing date would be right for the dates of the files. I bought 2 or 3 STs about the same time so I'm not sure which one it is yet, but have contacted one of the sellers that eliminated that one.
A little correction, the Home Computer Museum is located in Helmond which is not really close to Amsterdam. But then again, The Netherlands are so small it might actually be considered close to Amsterdam. 😊
Hey Retroman. After a hard day doing wet work for Sarif, this was just the thing to unwind with. Fun fact: there's more technology in one of my augmented eyes than a dozen AMiGA 4000s, but that doesn't make them any less awesome. The eyes and the AMiGAs, obviously.

From somebody who works in the industry doing these exact type of repairs I can tell you it would not have taken 15 hours to do all that repair work, it would have taken a few days.
@@RetroRecipes As you can see by some of the comments in here, people believe this repair was done in one day based on what you said at 8:39 Why did you not state properly how long it took to repair the board? because just saying 'after 15hrs of dedicated work' gives the impression that the repair was done in a 24hr day. You've mislead viewers into thinking this repair guy is some super expert when in he is not. He is no different to many many repair people who can do exactly the same repairs which takes days to do.

@@RetroRecipes my post is not so much a complaint but more an observation and constructive criticism. The reason I made the post is because not only does the original poster think the work was in one day but if you look through the comments, so do others. It is very easy for a persons perception to be misplaced. In your video, there is a lot of extremely difficult and detailed repair work. Now anyone listening to you say the work was done in 15hrs could give people watching the impression that the complete work was in one day (15 hours) so when these viewers start talking to other people about similar repairs and the repairs take longer, those that saw your video could say to a repair person 'your hopeless because I saw a video where a guy did a very difficult repair in 15hrs'. Now do you see the problem it could cause?
PCB repair is much more advanced now (i.e. not using jumper wires/nail polish). It has a standard. Technicians have the materials to replace traces/vias/coatings to their original state. It's probably done for a lot of military contracts.
You can get eyelet/pad kits and such, and you can use real PCB resist with a handheld near-UV torch, which is nicer than nail varnish. Recreating traces is more effort than it's worth, jumper wire does just fine. But this was never mil-spec equipment, it had minimal surface protection to begin with, and i'm convinced that held under room conditions and not letting batteries and caps leak corrosive juice on there for decades, the repair will hold up perfectly fine, there's no major reason to overdo it.
@@SianaGearz In this instance I really don't think it is necessary either. But the state of the art is you can't tell a repair was made. I would have liked to have seen more selective troubleshooting of the board but certainly understand the approach they took.

Ooh time for another amiga video I'm working on my amiga 600 which is now finished 9.5mb fast ram and 2.0mb chip ram with rtc and 68020 accelerator at 33mhz with fpu it's faster than a stock a1200

Superb restoration right there. Always great to save history. Never watched the movie though before because I felt like I knew the ending already. (not joking ... seriously the reason why I never bothered with it).
@@darthrevan2063 Well, that was the joke, could refer to the movie or the ship. Without "the" it would refer more to the movie instead of the ship, but my English grammar abilities don't go that far LOL.
Man i got home late after a bad day and boom this video shows up on my list, well don't mind if i do haha.

It was nice to see it boot up after all that work had been put in to it as well, well done to everyone. As always great video and roll on the next one, so until next time take it easy.
At what point does replacing and repairing make it a new machine? If every component except the PCB is replaced, is it still the same? Is it the same if even the PCB is replaced and only 1 chip or a section of the case is original?
@@RetroRecipes Also, how in the ocean did that fish survive all those years in the Amiga? Maybe it will become "The Legend of the Titanic Amiga Fish" and our great-great-grandchildren will talk about it, wondering what the heck "that Amiga thing" is...
Oh yes. 16MB would have been huge back then, especially considering the base A1200 had 2MB. I believe even Windows 95 only needed 4MB, although 8MB to run comfortably.
@@adamjensen1145 Sure, in 1992, that was quite a bit. But I'm guessing this is the Titanic configuration from 1997, and 16MB was a standard configuration for PCs by that time. Checking online, it seems the A4000 is only able to take 18MB at most, though. It is a testament to the power of the machine that it was used through most of the 90s when things were moving so quickly!
Oh the joy of that boot up. If that failed to work you were left with dripping blood from a sacrificed chicken onto the motherboard. Very funny though, a welcomed laugh.
You mis-credited the owner of the nail varnish! Tut, tut. It actually came from Grotbags' make-up bag, not from Kate Winslet. Kates' is a different shade of green.

How did you know I was watching Titanic last night and today this popped up...
My algorithm is strong
Looking forward to the next Retro Show 👍
Editing now! 👍🕹️
Congratulations!
That wiggeling fish is a cat toy! I saw on in the pet shop today and now i see it here ;)
no thats a real fish
Haha! Test card W! Nice one.
The Bill Paxton cameo made me smile.
Yeah me too. He’s right there immortal on the hard disks.
At what point does replacing and repairing make it a new machine? If every component except the PCB is replaced, is it still the same? Is it the same if even the PCB is replaced and only 1 chip or a section of the case is original?
Ironically the Titanic Amiga is a bit of a Ship Of Theseus
just 10/20% is replaced?
@@RetroRecipes Haha, good one. I had to look that up, perfect reference. _chef's kiss_
@@groenekever At most. More like 5% of the entire machine.
@@RetroRecipes Also, how in the ocean did that fish survive all those years in the Amiga? Maybe it will become "The Legend of the Titanic Amiga Fish" and our great-great-grandchildren will talk about it, wondering what the heck "that Amiga thing" is...
It belongs in a museum.
and it is
Excellent 😊👍
Saving retro gear is what we do best! You do computers and I do hi-fi equipment.
Yes!
This machine only had 16MB of memory? Wow, different times and lots of custom hardware.
Oh yes. 16MB would have been huge back then, especially considering the base A1200 had 2MB. I believe even Windows 95 only needed 4MB, although 8MB to run comfortably.
@@adamjensen1145 Sure, in 1992, that was quite a bit. But I'm guessing this is the Titanic configuration from 1997, and 16MB was a standard configuration for PCs by that time. Checking online, it seems the A4000 is only able to take 18MB at most, though. It is a testament to the power of the machine that it was used through most of the 90s when things were moving so quickly!
I have seen this move yesterday. What a coincidence...
Red Caps.. totally revised.. that is @IamTSB aka Dr. Wieland’s handwork!!
Video FANTASTICO,il Titanic,nave mitica!
Good job
Great stuff another Amiga resurrected :)
So does that make this Archimedes' Amiga?
We'll never let go.
Oh the joy of that boot up. If that failed to work you were left with dripping blood from a sacrificed chicken onto the motherboard. Very funny though, a welcomed laugh.
You mis-credited the owner of the nail varnish! Tut, tut. It actually came from Grotbags' make-up bag, not from Kate Winslet. Kates' is a different shade of green. (Post Chip Buffering), Plus, did I understand correctly you want to live underwater with the dead fish. Oh, wait, I think I've got that wrong somehow. (Just kidding!).
Do you put nail polish on before or after replacing chips?
Usually before chips, after traces
