I recently received a 6 slot for free, untested, no idea if it works or not. I have no access to any tools or cabs at the moment, and am trying to see how board this board is and if it will be too hard to fix or not.
I have taken some photos of the top board and motherboard and I see some worrying areas, but am unsure if it is just a case of the mask coming off, or if the tiny traces are fooked. I thought I would upload some pictures here and see if the experts here can run their eyes over the pictures and perhaps offer their opinions.
I know it is very hard to tell from photos, but I thought it may be something people may have seen before. Would REEEAALLLY love to have a working 6 slot! But if it is too damaged, no way I will be able to repair such tiny traces I have seen repair videos where solder has been run along the traces to look for breaks, but I cannot do that right now, sadly. If it is damaged, it is something I would pay to have repaired, if it doesn't get too dear. Doubt I will be able to purchase one any time soon!
Thanks!
