Tandy 102 Turmoil Pt.1 - Battery corrosion repair, hidden damage, LCD corruption fix

Hey Birt! 37 min Published Oct 2021

About this video

Why did a Tandy 102 stop working after storage? Hidden battery corrosion damage is tracked down until it boots, and an LCD corruption problem comes next.

Good to know: Corrosive residue, and soldering brings burns and fumes. Some faults are left for part 2. Sponsored by PCBWay.

Why watch it

The board looked fine at first glance, with hidden damage found on closer inspection. Tracking the faults took several weeks, and some are left unsolved until part 2.
