Well actually i do need only one, because got to repair a heavily damaged board... The electrolite ate away all the plating and solder from a big area around the power connector.. Where are you from?

What if I need only the pins of the male socket? Is there any valid source? I was looking through farnell, mouser and tme but cannot find only the pins. Also molex page does not show any info about those connectors anymore.

I know that, but there is no 1x12 header available anywhere, the only one I found was the 6pin Molex 366420001... This one looks identical to what I had to desolder... Or if someone knows if it is possible to buy only the pins, since the plastics are ok, is the pins that are corroded and missing.

Since I got one motherboard that was severely damaged from the old Farta battery leak, i had to remove a lot of components and also the AT power connector. I found all of them online to buy but that one. It was obsolete years ago and I cannot find any shop that sells them. So was wondering is the …

Great call! I took an external battery and connected it on the header. Everything is working fine now. Even when if I disconnect the battery... The time is working correctly as it's the date. In the meantime I think the HDD failed... It's a pitty because I think this computer had literally minutes …

Well, I would say it's quite far away from the battery and there is no actual damage or sign of leakage around the chip. The chip is that one (the one in the middle - UM8287): https://theretroweb.com/expansion-chips/4560 And yes, it does it only in BIOS and only with DATE and TIME, all the others …

Hi there, after a long time I have some new stuff in my collection and one that particularly has a special place. It's a pentium 75MHz machine with 16MB ram and 850HDD, S3 Trio64v+,... Today I finally checked the PSU, earlier I removed the Farta™ battery, very little to none damage on the board, …

Hey there, I got 6 sony bvm crt's that are in nurgent need for service, some have crooked geometry, others colors,... Reading and watching videos got me really scared of the high voltages in those appliances. I am a repairman at heart, but 15 0r 20KV are really out of my league. I got some sony 14m4 …

Hey, after a long time, could you take a close photo of the CACHE chips? Considering changing them, but I see from your photos that you have different chips... Hopefully I can find some of those chips somewhere.
Re: A box full of old video cards... are they worth saving?
Posted on 2023-08-23, 16:29
Hey, after reading your answers, well I decided to keep them. Maybe they will come handy sooner or later. They don't take that much space anyway. The one I listet above are only AGP cards, the PCI and ISA are much less in number and are mostly in use in old systems I have. Got to make some space, …
A box full of old video cards... are they worth saving?
Posted on 2023-08-22, 14:18
So last week I was going through the box of video cards I am not using and was kind of sorting them by connector/standard... ISA, PCI, AGP, even some PCIex (not interested in those anyway),... Are those even worth anything? I know some are sought after, but I don't think I have the best versions, …

Hey, just did a total recap on this 2290. Now I have an actual dual slot sb16 :D Couldn't get my hands on small 470uF 16V caps, so I used 470V 25V and are quite big, so I should take care when installing the card in the computer. Anyhow, I have another problem right now. In the meantime, while this …

I was using my old 386 for some relaxing gaming on the monkey island and I heard some weird clipping/distortion out of the headphones... Connected some speakers... the same! Then I went directly into the sound card of my main modern computer to record it and here you go... I guess it is some bad …
