SlowCoder Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I was bored tonight. After dinner, not much to do but watch kiddie shows with my children. I decided that I'd create a guide to CV disassembly, based on my *limited* experience. A Guide to Disassembling the ColecoVision.pdf Please take a look and let me know what you think. Constructive comments and critiques are welcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Yurkie Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 One major thing you did wrong was lay the stuff out on a blanket. Static electricity can destroy the board. Ideally when working on electronics an anti-static wrist strap should be worn and item should be placed on a anti-static work mat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll wait a while to see if anyone else has ammendments, then I will update the guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAC-MAN PRIME Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing it! I guess I need to get an anti-static mat too now. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowCoder Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) I haven't had any more update requests in the last couple days, so I'll consider that after I've added "danger of static" to the guide, it will be complete. Is this something that you guys think should be stickied, lest it be lost to the rubble of past threads? Or does it suck, and is the same as the thousands of others out there on the Interweb, and you guys are just too nice to tell me I wasted my time?

I'll also link to it from another thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
