4's will all have different circuit boards than the 4t's, unless the
main circuit was replaced after Olympus ran out of the original 4
circuits. But the basics are all the same.

Could be -- or might be a bad solder joint, a cracked resistor, or....
Well, the service manual lists lots of possibilities.
