Bun's Lab
I'll probably have to take off the uppermost SIMM socket. I can see corroded traces underneath. And although I have traced it all out and everything checks out, there could be still sufficient unneutralized base under there that provides enough of a current…
I did that and scratched off the oxidation layer. All traces have continuity and no cross conductivity. There are no traces that I didn't already know of from my earlier deduction. Wasted effort. In the parts bin it goes until I can either source a working replacement MX83C305FC or I can use it to fix something else.
The next repair project: these horrible Chinese desolder guns. The muzzle part breaks off. It's being held on by a tiny bit of plastic that just gives out after a bit of use. I fixed one of them with a pipe clamp and copious amounts of glue. Works great. Next problem however: The release mechanism for the solder collection vial breaks.
Seriously, these things are awful in every regard. And so is the base station as it runs a tiny cooling fan at like twice the voltage.
