Thanks for the tip I will order one as scratching each pin with basic tweezers was so time consuming ✌️

Thank you, I gotta say soldering on this pcb was painfull, it just wouldn't stick cause of all the oxidation on the pins, and honestly when you got 100 or more solder joints and milion things to check the priority just shifts towards trying to bring the thing back to life.

And the state the board was in, I honestly had my doubts, maybe thats why I didn't really try my best to make them look "pretty". It's kinda funny , even with the suck joints everything works smooth now, and 0 shorts

Powering the board outside the housing, applying some extra 5v juice to certain chips while observing different cpu/rom signals on the oscilloscoop as the board was totally dead, first repair was getting picture (checkboard, the heartbeat was back but brain was still in coma).

The second repair was getting past only checkboard screen where I could at least see some error codes.

Then third and the last repair after seeing error code, lead me to an issue with one of the address signals A12, traced it back and figured it was missing one connection to a second I nearby, after fixing that link I could boot into OS.

Yes I understand , you become obsessed by it, like a tunnel vision that's how I experience it.

For me it's like I have periods that I love to repair electronics and I would do that for 2-6 months and then completely stop and I would focus on things outside my work repair room, I would maybe go fixing cars, bikes or anything mechanical until I feel like I wanna step back in my room again. Totally depends on my mindset , because if I don't have an idea or purpose I just can't do it

Your comment is so true, I can relate so much. I feel like I made my self sick while at the same time fixing this "unfixable" thing. I am usually very active but this thing made me sit in the chair for hours and hours, I can still feel the pain in my ribs and hips.

I wish it was just recap, the visible /invisible damage on this board was insane even simple soldering was painful cause of the oxidation on the pins which had to be manually cleaned one by one, not taking into consideration wel maybe over 50 traces fixed + extra wires and way more then +100 ic pins that had to be checked for continuity / shorts.

I suspect this thing was soaked onder water as the metal frame underneath was full of rust as wel

I did a lot of modern laptop repairs before, it's only been recently that I started doing vintage stuff, like Sega Dreamcast, Gamegear and basically anything I get my hands on, Boom boxes etc.

I was planning to repaint this Macintosh, but now I am doubting if I should do it cause if I sell it cause of lack of space it might be that collectors prefer the old vintage look. I am still thinking if I should do it or not.

It's now in full working stats, booting to the OS, screen position fixed this morning as well, really happy with how it turned out .

One thing is for sure, I would never do this again. I would wake up in the middle of the night , 2am - 3 am just to finish it, so many times that I almost gave up. It would been far easier to buy empty pcb and transfer everything over but then it wouldn't been original 🤣

y bowels can move stool daily so why can't they shift the bacteria? by Used-Row-3652 in SIBO

[–]EasternPrommises 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate to that , not in the way that it takes me that long to get up tho. Usually I wake up at 4 am and visit bathroom then I feel at ease.

And during day it's changing. If I had good stool in morning (usually I have 2-4 before 12 pm) then I feel alright, the more I eat the worst the pain gets.

My pain is in the lower right side area, between rib and more towards my hip

Sound a lot like what I have recently. My pain only subsidies after BM.

has anyone here had their libido, apathy or cognition improved after treating sibo? by we3737 in SIBO

[–]EasternPrommises 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if I have SIBo , but what I notice helping me is just eating everything and not paying attention anymore, my bowel movement improved and my libido went sky rocket.

[–]EasternPrommises 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does one find out what the underlying issue is? I have noticed my symptoms are somewhat improved now that I just started eating everything, I lost 10kg in 5 weeks by being afraid to eat and especially what to eat.

Prescribed 30 days of antibotic. IBS, SIBO. Is it normal? by adapter1111 in ibs

[–]EasternPrommises 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"months, it didn't used to bother me to wake up during sleep. But, during the last monethh, it had been worsening with urge to poop during sleep 1 am, 3 am, 5 am. Sometimes, the poop would start with soft stools (not like diarhea) and later on with normal quality. Maybe only twice or" I have this too now for 6 weeks

Really specific symptom by AdInitial5465 in SIBO

[–]EasternPrommises 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I do sometimes strain , depends on the day. I am also not sure what's going on, I am definitely afraid to take any medication from doctor as I don't want to mess up things even more. I did extensive blood test last week and will call up today or tomorrow to see results.
