In his latest video, Retronaut takes on a true retro computing challenge—a battered and bruised Amiga 3000 that arrived on his repair bench in late 2024. The machine, considered by many to be the pinnacle of the Amiga lineup, has one major problem: severe battery damage.
Just how bad is it? That’s what Retronaut sets out to uncover as he carefully disassembles the machine. With decades of grime, corrosion, and the ever-dreaded battery leakage to contend with, the real question is whether this classic powerhouse still has life left in it.
Will the Amiga 3000 boot up, or is it a lost cause? Join Retronaut as he digs into the guts of this once-mighty machine, assesses the extent of the damage, and determines just how much work will be needed to get it back on its little rubber feet.
