This came up in my recommendations yesterday and I ended up losing a few hours to videos on this channel!
The one thing I didn’t understand was why at ~14:00 they’re gluing the CMOS battery down!? That battery will certainly last less than the useful life of the PC. Seems like a surprising choice.
- ProllyInfamous 1y ago>gluing down CMOS ... seems surprising This is because without securing the battery, it becomes the most-likely RMA reason (shipping can unseat the battery). For the zero/one time in the computer's lifetime that it requires replacement, there's a chemical that will remove the glue's attachment.
- alargemoose 1y agoVery good point. I know there’s a “clip” there to keep it secure, but certainly could get moved during shipping.
- Havoc 1y agoGlue is cheaper than a spring loaded cmos battery holder like you get on desktop boards
