Fresh LC III+ logic board courtesy of max1zzz :)

Received my LC III+ logic board back from Max today! It had died awhile back from what I assumed was a power surge/brownout, but actually turned out to be trace rot. Max transferred the components from my logic board over to one of his new production boards. It looks amazing! Gonna get it back in its case today and fired up. Also received some VRAM modules today from Siliconinsider, and they should match the purple logic board nicely

Back together and working great! Siliconinsider VRAM matches perfect too.

This man obviously has superior hot air skills far beyond most of us...

Man it looks like Apple themselves assembled the board. lol

Oooh, so much purple goodness

The board was mostly hand soldered, I ended up finding this was actually easier than using a stencil + paste + hot air

Just "drew" the solder on the pins of the ICs?

Looks beautiful, amazing work as usual @max1zzz

@djhaloeight do you want a purple BlueSCSI to go with it? This homebrew version is altered to fit better in Macs and most importantly it's purple. I've got all the parts here so I can build one for you and send it over, PM me if it's of interest.

@max1zzz, you have done yourself proud. These are things of beauty. So good.

Yep, all the IC's where drag soldered

Nice! Not that indifferent than using a pick and place with a glue nozzle and wave soldering the SMD side. ive seen that done many times

I SERIOUSLY mistook that board for some sort of prototype board. Personally if I were to do that it would just end up in my long track record of screwups...
