Repair: Amiga 600 Composite video fix and recap. The LEEC - Lagom Effort Electronics Channel 2019-12-31 | Happy New Year!For holiday celebrations I will repair the composite video circuit on my Amiga 600.- Recapping - Video Encoder replacement- General celebratory mood- HUGE DISCLAIMER FOR PCB SURVIVAL, WORLD PEACE AND THE BETTERMENT OF MANKIND -As I mentioned in the video when I started twisting caps: "This is not the way..."And I truly ment that. Accidentally paraphrasing Mandalorians is no joke, people! It's religion! YOU DON'T JOKE ABOUT RELIGION!!!- "Hmmm... There, there... Relax, me..." [Putting an arm around my own shoulders.]"Nothing is absolute. I guess sometimes it might depend on the circumstances. You just need to figure out when and what they are!"Anyway... To clarify what I mean:Twisting SMD caps is not in any way the "easy way out"/beginner method that you should try if you in any way care about your machine. You will break traces unless your caps are extremely spongy and weak.I don't recommend anyone doing it if you (A) care about getting the board out of it alive or (B) can handle the consequences of PCB repair.I (A) didn't and (B) can... :P"I have spoken..."Have a great 2020! (EDIT: I guess not... Better luck 2021)This repair took inspiration from:http://www.waveguide.se/?article=amiga-600-video-encoder-upgradehttps://www.ikod.se/cxa2075m/If you want to support this channel, check out my Patreon:patreon.com/theleecor donate through PayPal:paypal.me/theleecThank you for your consideration!
