1 repair log

The underside of the Sharp X68000 Pro II power supply PCB, rested on top of the PSU's metal housing on the floor and being cleaned with a brush and a CompuCleaner air blower; massive electrolyte contamination covers the board, with darkened regions of the PCB and darkened solder joints, grime pooled where the electrolyte ran, and one edge of the board very dark from the contamination.

Sharp X68000 Pro II: Magic Smoke, Transistor & R-Type

Proper saga on this Sharp X68000 Pro II. Magic smoke from a reversed capacitor, an accidental probe short, and enough replaced components to fill a parts drawer before a single faulty transistor finally gave the game away. Got it booting and running R-Type, which was a hard-earned win. Video output later stopped working, so the story isn't entirely over.
