I like that you are willing to rebuild an old motherboard instead of throwing it out! We all need to start doing this with things because they are treasures that contain endless enjoyment.
I like the suspense on the entire video. Besides I've learned a lot - vineger for the battery acid, jumper wires, restoring the tracks, remove corroded solder, restore broken IC leg.
I've done similar work on an old Sega Mega Play cartridge, and gave up when I accidentally lifted a trace. Seeing your repairwork kinda wants me to try and fix that cartridge now!
I caught your first video on Septandy, so now I am going back and seeing these. I have several old mainboards I have removed the Varta battery on, but have not had the guts to really attempt repairs on. I'm sure its not as easy as you make it look, but I will try to repair them now.
I had a lot of fun with my 286 16 MHz with 0 wait states at that time. Although it was not as "multimedia" as my Amiga the CPU was much faster and the VGA performed very good with 3D games as well.
Dude! That was a restauration and a half! Tinning those traces, what a great idea. Seen a lot of retro channels out there but you bring a few new things to the table. Now the criticism :P - the video is impressive but I miss a bit more of an explanation, maybe. You know? It would make a much longer video and this is probably not your main goal but I, who has a dozen of these boards in various states of disrepair here, I found myself asking: wait! why is he testing that, why does he know this, is it like that on every board?

Awesome channel! Why is it so hard to find such amazing content on YT? Wish I had found you sooner.
i really like seeing this done on a board. nice to see it working after that battery decided to take a shit all over it.
Same mainboard - same problems - it has been cleaned but I never tried to fix it. Now it's time to try a rescue of this 286! Nice job!

This had to be one looong repair. Much appreciated, I'm always looking for more repair videos of old/damaged motherboards. Thank you for the effort.
Now i'm just falling down the hole into your channel. Great content man! Keep it up. I love all the retro computer stuff
This is amazing, I am stunned by your attention to detail and patience.
What’s wrong with you? I’ve been on your channel for days and can’t get enough of it!! Stop!!!!! Give me my life back 😂
Wow, what an amazing feat to get that thing working. Its inspiring me to become better at soldering.
you have a lot patience I would have given up when i saw the battery lol
This inspires me to start repairing my 386 motherboard with leaky battery. It looks less damaged than this one so 🤞
I had 80286 12 MHz + 1 mb mem + EGA. It ables me to run ms dos 6.22+win3.1 1mb of mem - awesome! Glue this wires.

one of the unique chanell where i'm not skipping commercials
Very impressive repair. Got to keep our history alive and playing Wolfenstein 3D!
I'm always amazed by the data retention time of these old bios eproms. I though they could get erased or corrupted after so many decades.
