Previous repair attempts CPU re-soldered Leftover solder blobs CPU Pins CPU Solder connections retouched + leftover solder blobs Being already in uncharted territories since it was my first fix attempt and now more uncertainties ? Effort already put in and still doesn’t work ? Oops. Having a closer look, I discovered that a lot of work has already been done to it. I appreciated the reuse 🙂 As bought – Issue 4B Although padded in some bubble wrap, it arrived in a Perfume Shop carton bag, the board itself being slipped inside an Ikea resealable bag. I received the board in a very weird packaging. Thus, decided to embark on a new journey, fixing Sinclair ZX Spectrum motherboards. I do have some Sinclair ZX Spectrums that I have bought throughout the years – original box and accessories – but what if something would stop working on them ? Will I know how to fix ? It was sold as “not working, for parts or spares” with an affordable price. One evening I stumbled on a Sinclair ZX Spectrum motherboard listing on ebay.
