Fire Damage
-
Tomlov sent me their DM601 HDMI digital microscope, so I put it to work inspecting a fire-damaged, ultrasonic-cleaned Amiga A600 board for lifted pads and leakage damage.
-
The Amiga A600 from my house fire tried to boot, but its board was coated in greasy soot. My first ultrasonic cleaning attempt, from mixing the solution to the results.
-
300 degrees, then two weeks in mouldy water. I plugged in the Amiga A600 board from my house fire expecting nothing, and it produced a picture.

After the fire, Ben Versteeg of ByteDelight sent a box of Spectrum goodies: a 128K toastrack, ZX-HD, DivMMC EnJOY Pro, ZX Diag and a Harlequin 128 kit.

A clean, boxed GX4000 and one pulled from my house fire after two weeks in firefighting water. Guess which one boots Burning Rubber.
