Tims Retro Corner | Amiga 500 Grime Removal: deep cleaning @TimsRetroCorner | Uploaded May 2022 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Have you bought an old computer, and when you opened the box you found a horrible grimy mess? Worried about what's lurking between the keys of that keyboard? Well, it's time to pull those nitrile gloves on and get scrubbing!
This broken Amiga 500 I bought from eBay was described as "the power light comes on." Previously we discovered an exploded capacitor and a leaky battery. We've recapped it and replaced the expansion connector. We've built a new modern power supply. Now it's time to clean it up.
