BigBadBiologists BigBadBench | Can I remove, measure, and replace components on an Abit VP6 Dual PIII board without destroying it? @BigBadBench | Uploaded July 2023 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Epictronics needs some SMT component values to repair an Abit VP6 motherboard. I have one of the boards, so let's pop off those components and figure out what they are. Hopefully I can get them put back on without losing them to the Nth dimension and have the board return to working condition.
Also showing off a Silicon Graphics Indigo2 that I found in ewaste yesterday.

This is a Mac Classic II purchased as part of the #Sour16 compact Macs. It had bad cap corrosion. I havent been able to fix it and it has a weird boot pattern that I havent been able to figure out.
See the problem in this short:

I I have swapped almost every chip on this board... except the CPU. Lets see if swapping that fixes it.
