However, with the Amiga 600 being over 30 years old now and Commodore having used terrible quality capacitors in its construction, most Amiga 600s have leaking capacitors and a motherboard that has suffered the consequences - corroded PCB traces, solder joints and components. I bought an Amiga 600 on eBay that was in very nice external physical condition, but it wouldn’t boot. Replacing the reset circuit capacitor didn’t fix it either. Inspecting the board, I could see a lot of corrosion around many of the surface-mount capacitors. The board was beyond repair, at least with my skills. I searched online for replacement motherboards, and I found out about the Amiga 600 Junior . This was just what I was looking for - a brand new PCB that I could transplant components from my poorly Amiga 600 onto! I am lazy, so I ordered th...
