    I love that he fixed it in the most Junt way possible. After using all of his diagnosing tools, it starts working and he has no idea why. Fantastic!

    Hey Frankie. Great job once again!
    Jon: this is how it starts. A computer here, a computer there, then one day you wake up and you cant move in the house!
    As an old timer that does electronic repairs, I cringed when I saw that big blob of solder. Did you clean off the pcb lands well enough before you began to solder? If not, you may have continuity today, but the joint may not last. Sometimes you can use a pencil eraser to clean them off.they should be bright and shiney before soldering.
    Another thing: it is wise to re-seat all the chips that are on sockets as socketed chips suffer from "chip creep' due to thermal expansion and contraction when used causing the chips to work their way up the socket.

    I loved this video. I wish that Junt had an IT course that I could watch. Junt probably knows already but some of the IT training videos like for A+ and others are very boring. Junt is very easy to listen to and the video was interesting.

    Memories of my Apple IIe 128k duel disk drive with a modem to a local chat room and buying tons of great software from Beagle Brothers. I actually won the "One liner" contest twice from Nibble magazine. I would play that same Chopper game over and over while listening to all the Michael Jackson hits. Bought and sold Apple computers in the mid 80's in the Chicago land area and made big bucks. Loved Apple.

  • @ChrisLerouxDesign
    @ChrisLerouxDesign 4 года назад +3

    If I could give a piece of advice Frankie, you should reformulate your titles to something like "Repairing an Apple IIc: Diagnosing bad RAM chips - 'Puter Smith #1." It's generally recommended to put the show titles at the end, and more keywords can't hurt. Also be sure to paste your metadata keywords into your description. Apparently RUclips experts say it helps with the SEO.
    I'm sure you know most of this stuff, but I only mention it because I know with the success of youtubers like The 8-bit Guy that retro computing has a lot of potential on the platform.

    Nice find. I need to Hakko desoldering gun! I just found an IIe in a barn last weekend and it works! Got an Apple color monitor and a few floppies for it. The first floppy is not any good (I have a vid on my channel showing the nasties), but I have 3 more to look at, but not too worried about them anyway but for looks. Found a c128 and a 1581 and an Excelarator Plus. Both seem salvageable. I need to build a PSU for the 128 though. Since you live in the US, check out Tayda.com for good quality parts. I get most of my discrete's, sockets, and pins from them. All good stuff.
