Video Not Working? Fix It Now

In this video, I'm cracking open a black suitcase from Pontiac in the 1980s and resurrecting the Tandy 200 imprisoned inside... this thing has likely been sitting around and neglected for many years. I'll first diagnose and repair an issue with the power button and keyboard. Then, I'll show you how I repaired the badly burned-out LCD. And we'll end by giving it a spin around the block to examine Microsoft's pre-cursor to Excel before getting lost in a game of Solitaire and battling it out with our future AI overlords in Romulus Chess.
