so i bought an Amstrad NC100 as broken on ebay for less than 20 pounds. i was going to use just the shell and repurpose the keyboard to make it into a modern cyberdeck. i bridged a blown fuse and it's working. now what?

hey it's been a few years since win3.11 can we maybe use a better folder picker than this?

by the way if you are in the #uk and you need your #retro #computer or #video #game #console repaired i am a highly skilled technician that cannot be legaly employed in the uk so send me a #paypal donation of a #symbolic ammount and ship your computer to the southwest devon and i will repair it for you i have clients who can vouch for me thank you. i have an oscilloscope and everything, which is more than some thousand-follower retro tech youtubers can say. ​

like this

dicked around in photoshop for about an hour and made a little movie poster

people CWing their shitting-in-a-hashtag as "joke" or "shitpost" are cowards. cowards

astonishing how something so promising goes south so quickly

pressing slightly on the corner where the broken solder joint was vs letting go of it. it's clearly a break there, but i've already reflowed all of the pins that go to the sensor... well, at least it's clearly working, i just have to fix a trace somewhere

unfortunately something is still affecting the quality... i know the eyemodule isn't brilliant, but you saw how the test pattern looked when it worked right

holy mother of bodge.

it's not the same footprint but it is the same pitch... if i can keep all legs straight and not bridge any of them it might work...

well.. at least all the pads seem intact. reusing the broken connector was a bust, now this won't be usable until i source a new one...

however, i do know that the sensor is still working because before i tried to put it back together and broke the springboard connector, i did manage to snap these pictures. there was still a bad connection somewhere and wiggling the camera daughterboard made it do some weird stuff, like the second picture where it went upside-down and contrasted
