Hi,
First of all: Hi Everyone! I'm new to Vogons (as a registered user, in fact I've been lurking for some time now), please let me know if I'm breaking any rules 😀
Now to the point: I have two motherboards, that for different reasons have missing components. I'd like to know if any member here has the same motherboards and can send me detailed pictures so I know what is missing.
First one is an M396F v2.6, which has a soldered-in AMD 386 CPU. When I got it it had extensive corrosion damage due to a leaking battery, so I tried to repair it. I removed every component in the affected area, cleaned the corrosion, and started putting the components back in. Fortunately no traces were damaged in the process. The issue is, I wrote the values of most of the components, but for some reason didn't write down the values of the ceramic capacitors in the area. So now I have to replace a few of them (one of them split in half, and I broke the legs of a few others during removal) and don't know where they go. I have notes I took while I was removing them, and could find some pictures online that helped me see most of the values, but I am still in doubt about two of them. So to summarize what I really need is a picture like this one: https://www.philscomputerlab.com/uploads/3/7/ … 840554_orig.jpg (from https://www.philscomputerlab.com/forcom-m396f.html), but taken from the left, so I can see the values of those capacitors.
The second board is a PKM-0037s, a 486 board which was also damaged when I got it. It also has a bit of corrosion, but nothing too bad. The problem with it is that the corner of the board where the power and kb connectors are is completely missing, the rest of the board looks to be ok. I have *some* hope I can fix it considering I don't really see any traces going in that area and it seems I only need to put a few missing components. Again, if someone has this board and can send me pictures of the area where the components (and their values) can be seen, and from the bottom side so I can see where the traces should go, it would be great. I'm attaching a photo of the broken area, but here is a picture I found online: https://www.clous.cz/wp-content/gallery/dtk-p … PKM-0037S-1.jpg. Mine is not exactly the same, it says "E-2" in the corner instead of "E-5" and most of the ceramic capacitors in the photo are SMD capacitors in mine, but apart from that they look the same.
Thanks in advance 😀
