ASUS P2B Restoration: Board #2 - Merciless Corrosion!

The board in today's video, an ASUS P2B, is badly corroded! Broken traces, vias, SMDs, connectors, and sockets! When I started to work on this board, I had no idea how much work was waiting for me! If you have some retro gear that suffers from corrosion, this video may help take away some of the fear - but the sooner you deal with corroding hardware, the better! Since today's board required a lot of work, there won't be any additional details on the allegedly fake motherboard story, but there will be more in the upcoming videos! ▬▬▬▬ PCBWay ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Sponsored by PCBWay: 🔸https://pcbway.com/g/lF253I PCBWay provides full feature custom PCB prototyping services, 3D printing, and much more.
