Hello my patron! Here is Part 2 to the IBM PC 5150 repair and it is a satisfying fix. I did make a mistakes, but what else is new? LOL

Repairing this motherboard was fun -- it's nice IBM has such detailed and useful schematics. That's something we don't have with pretty much all the IBM PC clone motherboards. So it's similar to fumbling around in the dark with only a small flashlight. Lots of time wasted and lots of potential frustration.

I hope everyone enjoys these types of repairs, because I sure do!

Thanks for again for all the support -- it makes all of this possible!

I’ve been following you for more than a year and it inspired me to finally, after 22 years, troubleshoot and successfully fix my 1982 Z80 based Nascom 2 (alas, I don’t seem to be able to share pictures here)
