Every single trip to the scrapyard is an adventure. It is always a surprise what I will find that day. This time, I found a Slot 1 CPU without its plastic cover. I don't know what model it is, but I wonder if it still works. In this video, I will try to revive this Slot 1 CPU which clearly suffered some damage in the pile of discarded hardware I found it in. Missing SMD components, broken traces, and all kinds of chips and scratches.
