*Fixing* the Spares/Repair Packard Bell iMedia PC...

Welcome to another video on this cheap old spares/repair Packard Bell iMedia PC that I bought a couple of months ago. Previously, I discovered that its motherboard was cooked because of a damaged CPU socket. However, in this video I will go through the process of fixing the issue while taking the debatably easier route, which was replacing the motherboard entirely, along with testing the PC out afterwards. This ended up being an interesting journey, so I hope you enjoy this long video! Original system specifications for the Packard Bell iMedia 9094 Desktop PC: https://web.archive.org/web/200410250...
