Spare parts delivered and soldered back to the board.

Cleaned and reseated the socketed ICs...

...and slowly turned the power switch 😉

I always start to get out the battery as fast as possible and have a first clean with soapy water.

I avoid chemicals (like acid) for neutralization because we don't have controlled reaction conditions on the motherboard.

I sold my last Amiga in 1993. It was a Amiga 3000 - a computer I loved and never forgot.

A good friend sold me a A3000. And now I can update on my memories...
