This came in for repair today so i think I'll have to mask/ glove up.

you have medieval style keys

micropage7 · Mar 11, 2021

Just bought 2nd router, the sticker date was 2015, so basically dust that accumulated for around 5 years

not too bad after around 5 years. I've seen worse

Actually i'm not a fan of mediatek based router

A digital piano (a crappy one) filled with chocolate milk. It worked, but was disgusting. We'll see if I manage to put it together again.

This reminds me of a great keyboard restore video. The famous

I'm going to subject that to gamma irradiation to 50 kilo-gray then soak it in bleach to be sure that I might not die touching the damn thing.

dog actually, i met the woofer when collecting

F knows how it got into the keyboard, but keyboard has new keycaps and is lovely

It's hair. It gets everywhere.

_JP_ · Mar 24, 2021

I can second that, having one myself, he has the uncanny mystical ability of having Proximity AoE Hair spawn (w/DoT). So wherever he is, hair will just exist anywhere you look.
Has he just passed by? It's on your clothes, just one or two hopefully, but it's there.
That impposible-to-reach nook of your house, behind the furniture? Yep, theres a bunch of them there.
Did he play in the rug? Better not be allergic then. You're dead.
Did you just take a coffee? It's in it.
Oh, he wasn't around here recently and this place was vaccumed? Doesn't matter, look closely at that random spot on the floor.

EDIT: Just assumed it's cat hair as it is relatively short, but yeah, some doggos can have just as short hair, and sometimes the undercoat doesn't grow that big either.

Jetster · Mar 24, 2021

What hair? Don't know what you are talking about

Sempron 145 with 2GB running Windows 10 as well

I have installed windows 10 with a Sempron Le 1150 and a single 2Gb DDR2 ram stick, on an old Sata HDD.
Ironically I actually put a Sempron 145 in it, because it was slow with the Sempron LE 1150. Plus it has crossfire HD 3470. ( just because I can)

The point is that it worked! I did a similar build using Windows 7 minimum hardware specification as a guideline :laugh:

I think I've got the saddest motherboard ever...
What makes it so sad, is the fact that it's fixable, but will require wa-a-a-y too much time and labor.
I think someone tried to make it have an unconsensual sex with a GPU, then got ripped out of the chassis and had its CMOS battery holder ripped out along with some nearby components.
It looks fine from upfar, but it is hurting on the inside.... :cry:

This is where RGB LEDs used to be

These are probably PWM lines for CPU VRM, slashed all the way through the first PCB layer

And you know what that is...

And some random damage to caps and slots

I've already replaced the CMOS battery holder, added few jumpers to damaged tracks and removed the remaining (or the remains, to be more specific) of what used to be LEDs.
All I have left is to make a new SPI flash for it (the old one was removed for some reason by previous "totally professional workshop"), get a test CPU and power it on.

Good job bringing this back to life and saving it from the e-waste scrap heap! I can't fathom just how that kind of damage would happen, but ... people. Ugh.

Alcohol. I gave away an old computer to a guy (a guy a friend helped), he got drunk one night and ripped out the GPU, and the AGP slot was ripped out with it. The CD drive was smashed to bits as well, and the entire case was bent.

jboydgolfer · Apr 3, 2021

this has to be a record of some kind....i ORDERED this case for my daughter on 1/29/21, it obviously didnt arrive for a few days, & it was a further few days before i switched her PC over to it.
Being conservative, lets say, 2/10/21 , I opened her PC up on 3/31 to upgrade her build, & i found this, after 5 weeks or so of use...... :twitch:

Yes those are bird feathers in there...
