BigBadBiologists BigBadBench | Repairing a Varta-damaged 486 motherboard and recapping a more-interesting-than-I-thought 370 board @BigBadBench | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
A few days ago, I went over this really awesome lot of ewaste that I bought:

There was a cute little 486 baby AT motherboard with an integrated 40MHz 486SLC CPU, but it was damaged by a leaky battery. Let's see if we can fix it.
Also, there was a DFI socket 370 Via chipset motherboard with obscenely leaky caps. Let's get those replaced and see if the board POSTs. It turns out that the board is more interesting than I thought.
