Good morning. I have to share with you how I am excited I have taken my old computer down from the attic and even more because it works just fine.
Maybe it was too optimistic that I just plugged it into the socket and then I looked at what happened. However, later I checked the condition of the PCB. To my unskilled eye, it looks just fine. There was quite a lot of dust, especially in the area not covered by the RF shield, so I cleaned it with a bit of isopropyl alcohol.
The only concern I have is that there is some small amount of rust (
) under the RF modulator. The computer works fine and I don't experience any issues but I wonder if this is something I can leave in this condition or is it something I should take care of immediately. I can't say from my experience because I am a total newbie when it comes to electronics. I would be grateful if you give me some advice. Thank you!
