  1. 📣 New Video Drop 🎞️

    Who has time for #SNF?! There's new #DOScember holiday hijinks to be had!

    In Part 2 of my #IBM5150 repair series I start poking around the motherboard looking for trouble. Check out the full video in the link below!

  6. Working on an #IBM5150 for #DOScember. Following troubleshooting guide on MinusZeroDegrees.net. PSU seems good (stays on when plugged into board), but no beep code from speaker.

    Does the T1 Trimmer look ok? It could be broken as mine doesn’t look like the one in photos online.

    No obvious damage, no exploding caps, and voltages look good coming off PSU at P8 & P9 connectors.

  7. 📣 New Video Drop!! 🎥

    This year, I’m thankful for finally being able to get this video out the door!

    After much procrastinating, I finally dive into the recapping work on the Mac Classic that was a $30 FB Marketplace rescue. Watch me as I attempt to remove old electrolytic capacitors from this 1990 Macintosh Classic logic board.

  13. It's been a while since I updated you on my #vintagerepair project. Last time, I was knee deep in a Commodore PC50 III 386SX16, but things have gone a little out of hand since.

    Shortly after I tasted the sweet, sweet flavor of success, I ordered a lot of 3 possibly dead #IBM #Aptiva system. Naturally they were exactly that - dead. One was missing a power supply and another had the wrong one. After a lot of work, I managed to get the beefiest system running - a #Pentium 133. The work is ongoing, and has so far involved ordering weird cable adapters from Germany, washing motherboards in the dishwasher and sourcing an original power supply from the US. Pro tip - if you're ever considering collecting desktop Aptivas, don't. They're incredibly difficult to get parts for, and - so far - pretty tricky to bring back from the dead.

    And the BIOS is in Swedish.

    If you're curious about the progress, you can follow my thread over at #Vogons: vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=102
