Commodore 386SX-16 battery damage repairs feat. @MrLurchsThings

About this video

The Retro Channel works through battery damage on a Commodore 386SX-16 board, covering disassembly, cleaning and trace restoration, with the board described as needing minor repairs.

Good to know: Opening a desktop means mains voltage in the power supply, and capacitors that stay charged after unplugging. Battery residue is corrosive. Soldering means burns and fumes, and old solder contains lead.

Why watch it

Board details are given: a DTK PPM-1660C, with a reference page linked under the video. Timestamps begin with a first power on before any disassembly.
