Hi I was asked to look at a faulty Mega STE motherboard which has a couple of faults and just for fun I thought I'd take some pictures at work and thought I'd share. A Mega as you might not of seen one before.
ABOVE - See the broken track between two sim sockets (one has been removed)
ABOVE - Inside the 68000
ABOVE - Inside the 68882

I'm not sure why the 68k image has doubled it was only appearing once my end? The 68882 is the bottom image.

Re: Looking at a Faulty Mega SGTE
You'd added the 68000 image twice, once correctly and once as the 68882, leaving the 68882 image as an attachment. I have corrected it for you.UnderTheRain wrote: 16 Nov 2022 10:36 I'm not sure why the 68k image has doubled it was only appearing once my end? The 68882 is the bottom image.

Re: Looking at a Faulty Mega SGTE
Same reason as before, also corrected. When you're adding the attachments, make sure you use the correct 'place inline button' and avoid copying and pasting of inline image links.
BTW that image of the damaged track is cool.
