I have too many wires! What do you guys use for wire organization? I’ve been using these Alex drawers, but this is only half of my wire collection. Maybe I need to cull some of them. Should I put them all in bins and keep them in the garage?

I spent a lot of time recapping and trying to debug this LC 575 board. I’m getting power on, no chime, but I am not seeing any video :( this was going to be the next video, but I hit a big snag ! Either this is beyond my capabilities, or I need to spend more time working on cleaning the board.

I am having a really hard time tinning these pins on this chip on my LC 575 logic board for my Macintosh. Is this oxidation ? should I just keep scraping with a razor. 🤔

Thanks everyone and @mac84 ! I bent the pins back carefully. It now works !!!!!! My eyes hurt from focusing on such a small thing. I think the last pin bust have been floating or unused. I hope !

Does anyone else have an Apple Pippin? I am trying to figure out why there is no video out, but it does turn on. This chip looks suspicious. But not sure if it’s intentional. #apple #pippin
