Main channel: Something mysterious happened while repairing this VARTA ravaged 486 motherboard (Patreon)
Content
Hello my patrons! I'm trying to get caught up after being away in vacation so here's the main channel video that'll come out this weekend. I'm actually always amazed how far I can get behind even though this is my full-time job now.
Anyway, on the bench we have a broken 486 motherboard that was donated by viewer Matt back in SMMC episode 65. (Linked in the description.) The motherboard had suffered massive damage from a leaking NiCD battery -- so I set out to see if I could get it working.
There is actually something somewhat relaxing about doing this kind of repair. If you have some non working boards, why not give it a try to see if you can revive things?
In other news, welcome to all my new patrons. While editing this up I was shocked at the "New Patrons" section at the start of the video. Normally it's just 1 column on the first text slide, but this time it was four screenfull of names! WOW! I'm still absolutely blown away at the outpouring of support.
Thank you everyone for all the support!!
