Daniele Verducci 🧉So, it seems my <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/macintosh" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#macintosh</a> LC is not immune to the <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/capacitorplague" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#capacitorplague</a> 🫤 There is not a lot of corrosion, but the electrolyte is visible. I cleaned it up with vinegar and then isopropyl alcohol to stop the corrosion. It seems like I'll need to buy a <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/capacitor" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#capacitor</a> kit and have some fun with the soldering iron... 🤷‍♂️ But now I want to check it it stills boots.
