Very poorly Apollo 1240 Recieve for Repair
I feel so sad, This Apollo has had such a hard time i had to show you all its poor little lonely face.
I have just received it in this condition. I say Shame on the owner!. I wont release the details of who did this, but if he is brave enough to admit it and show his face here, maybe we can all give him the guidance and support he needs, or even just publicly stone him. But lets not judge him before he has his chance to give evidence. Have a look at these.. |

Hmmm, its not that bad?
He just has'nt cleaned the board off with IPA, bet if he cleaned it off with IPA (removing all the flux), it would look ok. I do agree on that crystal though that is evil, ![]() |

@Dimsy
Pics please my good fellow, hardware pr0n and all that! besides when i first saw the card i was making a very pronounced wincing face... you know the type of face one pulls when they see windows millenium booting up! so it would be nice to see a good outcome for this. |

They have stolen a picture of my body, painted it, and badly photoshopped some guy's head onto it. Outrageous!
