Wanted A1200 (potentially mainboard only)

[Boohyaka]

Hi all,

Today is a sad day...my beloved A1200 just died on me Capacitor C28B burnt to a crisp (seems to be in the VIDEO signal path) taking the resistor next to it R304 with it. Seems like the pad under C28B is badly burnt. That's the "only" damage I could find on, and under the board. That's not the main purpose of the thread, but if a kind soul thinks they can guide me for a repair, I would love to receive a PM from you. I'm far from an electronics expert, but I'm well equipped and can work an iron, I'd just need some expertise in assessing the damage and figuring out a repair path.

But now what that means is that I just need to have a spare, even if the first board can be saved, which I hope. As such I am on the hunt for a A1200, could be the mainboard only, ideally recapped but I will happily consider all options.

I'm based in Switzerland.

Thanks!
