Restoring and Upgrading a Gigabyte GA-586ATV Socket 7 Motherboard!

About this video

Failing capacitors get replaced on a Gigabyte GA-586ATV Socket 7 motherboard, and a replacement RTC module is sorted out, after a planned upgrade grows into a bigger job.

Good to know: Desoldering means burns and fumes, and old solder contains lead. Leaked capacitor electrolyte is corrosive. A lithium coin cell in a clock module must not be shorted, heated or charged.

Why watch it

The replacement clock module here is Necroware's design, published on GitHub, and an earlier video on RTC replacement is linked for background.
