    Worst Corrosion I've ever seen

    This computer lived just 100 meters or so from the coast and, well... I'll let the pictures do the talking...

    PS: Sorry about using HWI to host the images. I can't upload attachments anymore. The forum is way too slow now. I might resize them a bit later when I'm back on my PC and try again.

    EDIT: Done. I had to resize them to 1366x768.

    The back. I've seen plenty of PSUs with rust spots on the back, but not quite like that before.

    The bottom of the case. It looks like moisture has been dripping there from the PSU.

    The PSU intake grille

    The rest are the PSU's internals. Even Deltas aren't immune to corrosion, unfortunately.

    Re: Worst Corrosion I've ever seen

    I had a computer which had succumbed to salt air corrorsion (twice from the same client), and I've read in the Serviceman's Log in an issue of Silicon Chip where a TV repair involved corrosion from sea air.
    My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

      i'v seen much worse.
      you should see what can happen to arcade machines that operate on the seafront or pier with open-fronted buildings and lots of intake fans to keep them cool (and spread the death!)

        Just replace the case and the screws and it will be ok

          Maybe, but I'd never even be able to give it away with that much corrosion on it.

            I was given a Dell 3011 monitor that was literally looking out the window at the pacific ocean. PCB's were corroded beyond repair, but the panel was fine. Scavenged boards from one with a broken panel to repair it.

              Whoa! Was that in use in that state?

              Yes, the pictures are extremely slow on the forum. Topcat, what's up with that?

                    It's never been slow for me up until a short while ago.

                      Is it worth to repair something like that, i think its doomed.

                        No. That PC is destined for the scrap heap.
