Wow! Looks like something have exploded inside and
left there,
eating away those metals...or a cat had sprayed it or mouse have
known to get inside via a open card slot and pee. And leave rice
sized BM's inside. This kind of corrsion looks like much liquid have
left in there, judging by the patterns of corrsion. Did something
have dripped on that computer? High humidry is out, you have good
metals anywhere else because I had some that was stored inside a
closet with high humidry and came out heavily corroded clone power
supply box.
I thought about that but the system has been sealed fairly well since
I put it in my climate controlled storage space. Still, it does look
like something was spilt on it. No open slots or anything so I don't
know what could have gotten inside.
I have another AT&T PSU I've been using to power the hard drive on my
Amiga 1000. I may find a new power supply for the hard drive and use
that one as a replacement for the corroded one. Still, it would be
nice to know if something was dumped inside or the PSU itself
released something.
BTW, what kind of camera and type of lens used you
have used to take
this pics? That's very close up work and very sharp.
I used a Kodak DC210 digital camera I borrowed from work. It's an
$800 camera so I'd hope it would take decent pictures. :-) I'm using
it to redo most of the images on my web site. It's a great camera.
And those images were taken at it's lower resolution.
