Chris Edwards returns with a focused restoration project in his latest video. Richard from the UK sent in his childhood Amiga 500, untouched since purchase and heavily damaged by a leaking Varta battery. The Amiga 500 repair blends careful chip work, cleaning, repainting, and a look inside Chris’s redesigned studio.
The project begins with an inspection. Chris quickly confirms corrosion across the board. Components have fused into place, while ports crumble apart. Using Corrosion X, brushes, and patience, he scrubs away residue and rust. Next, he tests chips and finds trouble with the CPU, Kickstart ROM, and supporting parts. Swapping these brings the Amiga closer to life. A dead CIA chip is replaced, then an LS157N mouse controller. With these fixes, the system boots and passes tests.
Next comes cosmetic work. The metal shielding shows rust and staining, so Chris sands and repaints it. The finished surface looks clean and fresh. By the end, the Amiga 500 Studio Repair leaves the system running smoothly and looking nearly new. Richard will soon have his treasured computer ready for use again.
Alongside the repair, Chris introduces his redesigned studio. He rearranged shelves and systems for better order. Amiga models 1000 through 4000 stand neatly. A glowing piece of uranium glass under blacklight adds a striking touch. The new setup feels practical yet full of character.
This episode balances technical repair with personality. Chris samples UK sweets sent with the Amiga, jokes about packaging, and reflects on his workspace. For Amiga fans, the video provides a satisfying restoration and an engaging studio tour.
