Apple Monitor Found in Landfill - Restored - Part 1

There's nothing like a good rescue, especially of a CRT! If my field found C64 has taught me anything, it's that old electronic devices are more robust and resilient than we used to think!

7:36 Apple using Samsung parts since the good ol' days

1980s: "Careful with electronics even the smallest touch can kill them" 2020s: "These sat outside 20 years and still power on"

Lets all take some time to recognize that this monitor was sitting outside in minus 8 degrees F temps during the Texas mega storm we went through back in February, yet it still powers on.

"Old monitor.... RISE FROM YOUR GWAAAVE!" nice rescue David!

I have been watching this channel for about 5 years now, and there's still something so oddly hypnotizing about watching old computer hardware get cleaned, accompanied some upbeat music, and I can't explain why. I just like it.

Let’s all remember to thank the volunteers at Computer Reset. Great work guys!

when you said "Cap Juice", I thought you said "Cat Juice", I was like WHATTTT!!!!

"Time for alcohol" That's exactly what I said when I saw all those monitors piled up in the dirt....

When you were carrying the monitor to your car it really had the same energy as someone bringing home an old rescue dog.

really made me sad and angry see these just thrown outside like that. we need more people like you in the world that still has a heart for vintage tech like this

Your restoration videos are so cute. It's like seeing people rescue senior animals, giving them nice baths and finding new homes for them. I'm sure if AI ever try to take over the world, they'll leave you alone, lol. I've been binge watching all of them today. They make me really happy. Also, baking soda and water just does everything, man! Acid reflux? Mix some baking soda in water and drink it. No toothpaste for the night? Baking soda and water paste. Mosquito bites? Make it into a paste with water, and leave it on the bite for a while. And now it seems you can clean old computers with it! Seriously, it seems like it does everything.

Whenever I hear about tech landfill, I can only think of copies of ET and other Atari game carts.

Suddenly Strong Bad's old computers being thrown out and still working makes more sense.

You know what they say: “One person’s junk, is another person’s treasure!”

It warms my heart to see someone rescue a CRT. Keep fighting the good fight!

A new video, you just made my day!

I hope someone writes a book about Computer Reset. Such a cool place that (seems to?) have fallen into the right hands. Hope more "Computer Resets" are out there waiting to be discovered and ro have their contents preserved.

Really glad to see you're back to making videos again after the disaster that hit your area recently.

2:32 You're a brave man for keeping it in your house for 5 weeks. Hopefully nothing hatched. ;-)
