I thought it was an Amiga

[@Toby_Q]

4:30 loved that example cut!

[@ChrisEdwardsRestoration]

woops!, i show another

[@enigma776]

People have been telling Adrian for years not to just twist them off but he is too set in his ways to change. Its the old "I have never had a problem doing it this way" until he does.

[@ChrisEdwardsRestoration]

Ive seen ripped traces and stuff when he does that

[@dennisp.2147]

The Eight bit guy is another serial offender.

Nice vid Chris! Always learn something when I watch these!

Thanks Chris!!!! Very nice work!!!!! Ken from Canada.

Another great vid chris 👍👍

i had an mac iici. it was really nice machine with lots of expansion options in the nubus slots

nice time spending Sir

[@cullmaster7361]

Nice one Chris 👍🏻

[@hidden_vault]

definitely will start doing caps the same way with snipping, awesome idea. what's the fiberglass Pen do, help keep things in place i assume? didn't even know they existed, great video btw

[@Zebpro]

Fiberglass pens are abrasive and remove corosion from chips pins, they can also be use to remove solder mask to access copper to repair damages tracks or pads.

[@ChrisEdwardsRestoration]

Yup

[@giornikitop5373]

although it's a good technic, would soldering tweesers be faster and equaly safe? be carefull with these pens. given enough scraping, a fiberglass pen will remove just about anything on the board, that being dirt, corrosion, masks, traces, copper you name it. also always use gloves and NEVER let those shards go into your eyes or your in for a very bad time.

[@ChrisEdwardsRestoration]

@@giornikitop5373 hakko soldering tweezers work well as do some chinese knock offs, but this method guarantees a safe pad removal with 2 steps, snip, remove, snip debraid and clean, been doing it for years never lost one yet.

[@AmigaofRochester]

ALS240 near the slot. HC132, generally I remove them and clean under them. I'd have removed the corroded silk screen too. Just did a IICI where the HC132s were just done. Then again, I do more macs than I can count.

[@dls2684]

As always great stuff Chris. Quick question, (hopefully you haven’t answered this too many time before), what is your opinion of ultrasonic cleaning? Does that accomplish some of the same things you did here I.E. cleaning out the gunk underneath chips or is there really no substitute for doing it the way you showed in the video? Hopefully that makes sense.

[@ChrisEdwardsRestoration]

It does but my tank is small. A little larger than a video card and that was 100.00. They sell larger ones but the price goes up w size

[@8BitRetroJournal]

Your fixing a Mac on your channel...how dare you. I had a Mac IIsi for most of the 90's, one of my favorite machines. A slightly slower model from the IIci and smaller case. Thanks for saving it!

[@ChrisEdwardsRestoration]

I have many apple videos in the past!

[@8BitRetroJournal]

@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration oh, I must have not gone back far enough...I'll check 'em out.

[@jjdigitalvideosolutionsllc5343]

Do you have any video(s) demonstrating SIMM socket removable? I thought I watched one but haven't found it again yet. Thanks for the great videos.

[@ChrisEdwardsRestoration]

I have one coming up for my a4000. Applies to any conputer

[@dennisp.2147]

Nothing wrong with fixing a Mac. I do not and have never owned an Amiga. I still enjoy watching you fix them, in the event I ever do get one. I went straight from my C64 to the PC. Couldn't afford an Amiga then and the crazy prices of retro machines these days seem like they'll make that a permanent situation... Also, thanks for showing the correct way to remove a surface mount cap. It drives me nuts when I see certain big-time Retro KZbinrs do the "twist" method. The mechanical shearing forces involved would be tough for a pad that hadn't had electrolytic goo leaking on it, much less one covered in schmoo. I had various IPC and NASA solder, rework and cabling certs for 20+ years, and It drives me absolutely crazy to see parts damaged due to sheer laziness.

[@ChrisEdwardsRestoration]

Adrian basement teaches the wrong way

[@a4000t]

I have repaired so many Amiga's with ripped off pads over the years due to people twisting them off. This dumb idea started with a guy on AMIBAY.

[@8BitRetroJournal]

@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration I'm surprised Adrian still does it that way. Your technique is just as easy and makes a lot of sense in protecting the contacts. Maybe he just hasn't seen your method yet. He seems to be a pretty practical guy so I can't imagine him thumbing his nose at good techniques.

[@ChrisEdwardsRestoration]

When you get that large of a user base you done even converse w people. I try to answer every question and take constructive criticism

[@8BitRetroJournal]

@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration Adrian has popped on my tiny channel and commented on one of my Amiga videos (I don't do that many) so he does watch other youtubers. He has gotten pretty big though with two channels so probably busy. Like you, he cranks out tons of videos and has a day job. I just don't know how you guys do more than one a week. Plus you have a wife and kid so even more impressive.

[@josephphillips9243]

Chris if you use the pen on the pins to get rid of the corrossion won't that cause future corrosion because it has scraped off anything protecting the pins. Is that what you did?

[@ChrisEdwardsRestoration]

Nope clean pins and neutralized w alcohol

[@josephphillips9243]

@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration Thank you

[@PetarsPlace]

Awesome Mac repair! I really like your method for cap removal too! Quick question. I'm buying my hot air and solder station very soon, and wondered about flux. I saw that Amazon has Kester 186 and 591 (no clean) in 2oz bottles for reasonable amounts. The bottles look like yours. What do you use for flux???

[@ChrisEdwardsRestoration]

i use two types, kester 186 liquid no clean (that you have to clean) and Chipquick paste for those stubborn ones. you want a paste for hot air removal as it will not blow away with the air pressure. liquid is great for attaching w an iron or debraiding to help it flow

[@ravichandel8690]

Sir how to apply for Technician job

[@jimmihenry]

This whole surface mounted capacitor turd thing... I have a AMIGA 500 do i have to be worried? Please do a separate video decaping the suckers, i did see jack shait in this video! Dr. Chris show us some tricks related to fix the AMIGAS please ! 😊

[@JeremyLevi]

The A500 doesn't have any surface mount caps in it. Only real concern is if you have a trapdoor ram expansion with a battery backed up clock as a lot of those use a leaky barrel battery instead of a button cell. Usually it will just destroy the RAM expansion card though, although occasionally it can make its way into the motherboard via the expansion connector. [If it's an A500+ though, that has the clock and battery on the motherboard which can definitely cause issues.]

[@jimmihenry]

@@JeremyLevi Thank you Jeremy. I did fortunately divorce the Varta from my RAM expansion! However i already paid the price, damage has been done. The motherboard is O.K. i think. No stinky caps on my AMIGA :) GOOD. Now i only need the Chicom ones for replacement, or what were they called? Japan the land of AMIGA replacement caps.

No custom cchips but a good OS. Emulated a Quadra quite a bit.

Did you just drop a dis on Adrian?! Haha!

Hey Chris, what’s the best way to contact you ?

email in the about me

Its much better to remove the infected chips, on this way you have problems very soon again.

[@ChrisEdwardsRestoration]

Im sure it is but i didnt have any and these were cleaned up perfect

[@DavePoo2]

That's NOT an Amiga ... unsubscribed...... oh, it's same processor & leaky caps and as the Amiga ... resubscribed. But seriously, were there ANY good electrolytic caps back then?

[@ChrisEdwardsRestoration]

Nope!
