Gateway Astro: $800 All-In-One PC from 1999!
About this video
The Gateway Astro all-in-one desktop from 1999 is repaired and tested, then set up to run Windows 98, in a video that also notes its Rugrats and Blue's Clues bundles.
Good to know: Where a built-in tube is opened, the tube and flyback hold a high voltage charge after unplugging. A knocked or cracked tube can implode, so protect your eyes and never lift it by the neck. Mains voltage is inside too.
Why watch it
The maker describes the elusive Astro as an internet appliance and a first PC for children, so the repair is on an all-in-one design of the late 90s, not a standard tower.
