  1. More from my vintage Casio Personal M-1 Calculator reconditioning after a bunch of cleaning partly because of the alkaline battery leakage that leaked very badly, that luckily won't get all the way into the PCB, but there were some crystallized acid pieces inside the case all the way underneath the VFD (vacuum fluorescent) display I managed to get rid of the mess that the leakage caused.

  6. The Casio Personal M-1 calculator had some damaged traces on it's PCB that needed to be replaced with some wires, but before that I have scraped with an exacto knife the damaged parts of the traces and prepared a small amount to be able to solder on the wires into. It was definitely repaired before by someone, there was one trace that was replaced with some kynar wire.

  11. Finally I have found my vintage calculator that I have searched for years around the house that needed badly to be cleaned and repaired. I have found it in the attic the poor thing have been in ruff shape after it was exposed to extreme heat and cold up there. To make thing worst I forgot to take the two AA alkaline batteries off that I have put into them years before to test it out to see if it turns on and it did.

  16. Yesterday I was asked if I have any older computers around as a collection of sorts. Of course, I do.

    So on a whim I decided to get my A7000+ down and take a photo or two. For some reason I started taking the lid off, and nearly stopped, after a RFI shield noisily clattered out of the lid.

    But I opened up further and got to the board, and discovered... a dreaded battery leak.

    Anyway, I have now removed the battery, cleaned the mainboard up, and it looks like I just about caught it in time!

    It powers on and boots to supervisor, but I couldn't find a PS/2 keyboard & mouse to get any further.

  20. #Amiga4000 #BatteryLeakage #Repair update: it still just black screens on me despite checking all my bodge connections again. I think I might have missed a broken trace somewhere. To be continued.
