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.

UTR

Some more shots


And a ribbon cable


Again not sure why the first image is duplicated

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.

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.
