Main channel: Repairing a completely dead IBM PC 5150 motherboard (Patreon)
Content
Hello my patrons! I hope everyone in the northern hemisphere is enjoying long warm summer days! (It's been especially nice here in Portland the last couple months.) For the next main channel video I'm going to go outside my comfort zone a little and try to diagnose and repair a completely dead IBM PC 5150 motherboard. If you aren't totally familiar with the IBM PC line this motherboard comes from the very first PC ever released. This is the machine that all the PC clones we still use today are based on.
Back then, all the parts IBM used on this motherboard are off the shelf (so obtainable) and full schematics are available. The only thing that might stymie me is the IBM PC is substantially more complicated than something like a C64, so watch to find out if I am stumped!
Thanks for all your support!
