Video Not Working? Fix It Now

Time to look through a mystery box of PC parts I was given! What will I find? I also make the first use of a video microscope on my channel, overclock an old IBM motherboard and more! I have a follow-up overclocking video which will come out on the second channel to see how far I can push the overclocking on the old Type-1 motherboard. 0:00 Intro 2:52 386 SX-40 motherboard 8:40 486-DX50 motherboard 22:09 Firefly Serial to Bluetooth Adapter 25:17 286-12 Motherboard 37:03 Testing and overclocking a IBM 5170 motherboard 57:50 Outro Motherboard info: AMD 386 SX-40 MX Chipset MX83C305FC / MX83C306FC TB Taiwan 486-DX50 MB-1420/25/33PB/PV PCB Rev A Chips and Technology / Bioteq P82C206 / 92C4800 286 Motherboard Baby 286 Mainboard VIP M214002A BAM12/A0 BAM16/A0 Made in Taiwan --- Video Links The microscope Andonstar sent me: Andonstar AD409 HDMI Digital Microscope https://amzn.to/3iZZ7WX The one my friend bought and he says works really well too: Andonstar AD208 Coin Microscope https://amzn.to/3kRihAF IBM 5170 patched BIOS and write up: https://archive.org/details/ibm-5170-type-3-bios-cover IBM PC AT 5170 Series: Part 1: https://youtu.be/hKgIdBIeCN0 Part 2: https://youtu.be/QFpJ3uWIqVQ Part 3: https://youtu.be/qO3xrl0XR-4 Adrian's Digital Basement ][ (Second Channel) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbtwi4wK1YXd9AyV_4UcE6g Support the channel on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/adriansdigitalbasement -- Tools Deoxit D5: https://amzn.to/2VvOKy1 http://store.caig.com/s.nl/it.A/id.1602/.f O-Ring Pick Set: (I use these to lift chips off boards) https://amzn.to/3a9x54J Elenco Electronics LP-560 Logic Probe: https://amzn.to/2VrT5lW Hakko FR301 Desoldering Iron: https://amzn.to/2ye6xC0 Rigol DS1054Z Four Channel Oscilloscope: https://www.rigolna.com/products/digital-oscilloscopes/1000z/ Head Worn Magnifying Goggles / Dual Lens Flip-In Head Magnifier: https://amzn.to/3adRbuy TL866II Plus Chip Tester and EPROM programmer: (The MiniPro) https://amzn.to/2wG4tlP https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33000308958.html TS100 Soldering Iron: https://amzn.to/2K36dJ5 https://www.ebay.com/itm/TS100-65W-MINI-Digital-OLED-Programmable-Soldering-Iron-Anti-static-Structure/113382669853 EEVBlog 121GW Multimeter: https://www.eevblog.com/product/121gw/ DSLogic Basic Logic Analyzer: https://amzn.to/2RDSDQw https://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Logic-DSLogic-Basic-Analyzer-16Ch-100MHz-4Ch-400MHz-Xilinx-Spartan-6-FPGA/202543965672 Magnetic Screw Holder: https://amzn.to/3b8LOhG https://www.harborfreight.com/4-inch-magnetic-parts-tray-90566.html Universal ZIP sockets: (clones, used on my ZIF-64 test machine) https://www.ebay.com/itm/14-16-18-20-24-28-32-40-pin-IC-Test-Universal-ZIF-Socket-Fs/303206721971 RetroTink 2X Upconverter: (to hook up something like a C64 to HDMI) http://www.retrotink.com/ Plato (Clone) Side Cutters: (order five) https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-2-5-10PCS-Micro-Scissor-125mm-PLATO-170-Electronics-Cutter-Side-Cutting-Pliers/163458746184 Heat Sinks: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32537183709.html Little squeezy bottles: (available elsewhere too) https://amzn.to/3b8LOOI --- Links My GitHub repository: https://github.com/misterblack1?tab=repositories Commodore Computer Club / Vancouver, WA – Portland, OR – PDX Commodore Users Group https://www.commodorecomputerclub.com/ --- Instructional videos My video on damage-free chip removal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQVjwPsVFd8 --- Music Intro music and other tracks by: Nathan Divino @itsnathandivino
