In a fresh episode of Chris Edwards Restoration, viewers are in for a classic repair tale—this time featuring a Amiga 2000 with Varta Battery sent in by Mr. Josh. The machine? Completely dead. The culprit? Still holding on for dear life inside the case: the infamous Varta battery. Yes, that battery. Cue the dramatic music.
Chris gives his usual honest, dry-witted take as he peeks inside this early A2000 board. Revision 4, for those keeping score, is known to be particularly vulnerable to Varta-related disasters. And this machine isn’t about to break that reputation. Corrosion is clearly at play here, with the clock battery still in place like a ticking time bomb—only it’s already gone off.
While the main focus is the sad state of this Amiga, the episode has its lighter moments too. Chris shares a surprise gift from Pintz and Amiga Mom: a bag of “bucky nuts” (a tasty regional treat). He doesn’t hold back his reaction, offering a bit of snack commentary to balance the circuit board chaos.
