Worst Recap Ever? Amiga 600 Extreme Repair

A huge thank you to the sponsor of this video https://www.pcbway.com Amiga 600

The Worst Recap Job I’ve Ever Seen? This poor little Amiga 600 arrived with a red hue on the display… and a whole lot more going on inside than anyone expected. What started as a simple eBay recap project for Henry quickly turned into a full-blown rescue mission. After seeing his refund come through with no need to return the machine, he passed it over to me—and I wish I could say it was in decent shape. But what I found inside was… horrifying. Radial caps where surface mount should be, burnt traces, mystery solder blobs, missing components, and enough corrosion to make your stomach turn. In this video, I take you through the full journey: inspection, diagnostics, trace repair, and finally, giving this Amiga 600 a second chance at life. This is one of the most extreme Amiga repairs I’ve tackled—let’s see if it survives.
