I picked up a Commodore 486SX-25 yesterday. I wanted it for the Commodore monitor so the PC was an extra 😀
My first plan was just to clean it a bit and see if it worked. Now the working bit is OK for now (halted on CMOS and keyboard error since I didn't connect one but it boots) but when I opened it up, I saw that the barrel battery leaked of course.
I removed the mobo and tried to remove as much hardened acid as possible with alcohol 70%. Damage seems to be minimal.
This battery is going to be removed ASAP and it seems there is a connector for an external battery.
Looking for some more info on this board for jumper settings, pinout for the external battery, maybe CPU upgrade,...turns up nothing in Google.
Does anyone which one this is?? It has an Opti F82C206 chip on it and it's a MB-4S20C Rev.A but even this doesn't give me any info.
