A B B A = 11 ( 91 A + 10 B ) = 11 x \overline{ABBA} =11(91A+10B) =11x

As the number is a perfect square, x x is also a multiple of 11 11

So, let 11 x = 121 y 11x=121y

As number is a perfect square, y y is a perfect square.

Let 121 y = 121 m 2 121y=121m^2

Putting values of m m as 3 9 3-9 (as we have a 4 digit number) gives no number of the form A B B A \overline{ABBA}

So, no 4 figit perfect square is of form A B B A \overline{ABBA}

Therefore, required sum is 0 \boxed{0}
