Hello! I just bought two 486 motherboards with ram and CPU installed. They were cheap as it was obvious that the battery had leaked.
But I need help on identifying them please 😊 and a little advice on the corrosion problem they have.
On the first is seems that there is not so much corrosion, but the back of the board looks like a mess. The second seems to be much worse on the top.
What sould I do to clear them? I have read similar threads but I really don't recall the method.
When powering up both boards I get keyboard lights flash and beep-code "No vga installed", because I don't have an ISA vga!
Do you think they're worth my time? 😀
Please help!
