KitMikro Posted November 26, 2024 Report Share Posted November 26, 2024 Hi All, I have a long holiday coming up and to fill the time and challenge my self I bought some broken mainboards from eBay. As you can see from the photo, this boards is butchered! I was wondering if I can use the 1.6 upgrade method to add the missing memory ic? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KitMikro Posted November 27, 2024 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2024 I have started with removing the extra ram chip, and replaced most of the missing capacitors and we have got lift off I was amazed it still booted without all the caps. At least I know the board is still alive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
