I love to tinker with a hardware, which used to be dead for many years. If you are interested, take a look at my YT channel.

I gave the Video Memory Tester made by @necroware.bsky.social a try today, and here are my results!
Super useful and awesome to be able to add it to the toolchest!
Give it a try!
(Side note: I confirmed it works on PCIe cards 😄)

I usually like Lenovo notebooks, but in this case I was massively disappointed to be honest:

Why is this Lenovo notebook not charging? Let's fix it!

Hey guys, sorry for the long pause. I have a lot of work, so the hobby has to step back a little bit. Nonetheless I found some time to tinker and was able to repair some nice sound cards. I also found why the SoftMPU didn't work on the Sound Galaxy Basic 16 from my last video.

Oxford has a great museum of natural history. And also the attached Pitt Rivers museum with a great collection of cultural items is mind blowing. You need multiple days to see everything properly.

Decided to share some SMD soldering experience adding a CPU socket. And of course I didn't stop there ;)

How to solder an SMD socket. Got a nice surprise and tested 286 vs 386SX.

Sometimes I'm confused by such comments. Is it a joke? Am I just too stupid to understand sarcasm?

I searched for solder and decided to share my opinion. The most valuable in this video are the comments. Everyone who needs leaded solder will find there a good suggestion from all over the world. Thanks to everybody!

I found finally some time to experiment with EISA. As it turned out I will need to find even more time to make the tests it deserves. This is what I have so far:

Hello retro community. This is going to be my first post here. I published recently a video about some of my soldering equipment, nothing fancy, but may be you are interested. More videos will follow soon. Wish you all a nice year and peaceful skies.
