Hello,
Got a 286 motherboard, baby at. Was somewhat corroded from a varta.Cleaned ok but some traces are dark in some spots.
Was wondering if you put the processor in a PLCC socket couple times the wrong way. Is the processor tough enough to survive and finally when its the right way its heating up quite alot.
It was sold as dead but it was also missing an oscillator so i thought maybe thats the problem, untill i went cleaning the corrosion and putting the cpu backwards, it stayed cool when it was backwards and 5v goes to memory and cpu and the oscillator, isa slot too but it doesnt even beeb. Cpu gets hot when in correct orientation.
Can a 286 cpu survive few times backwards insertion? I know thats not supposed to happen but when you are excited enough 😀
Regards Mika
