So I found something interesting on the special forces pcb.
The lithium battery leaked all over one ram on the pcb. Check yours. Maybe someone with more knowledge might be to shed a little light on this ram and what it might do.
@MrSinister I was wondering if you could tell from this video, if the PCB is bad on this Johnny Nero. Clearly the HDD is bad in that video, but the guy is willing to sell this pretty cheap. I know how to fix a busted HDD by making my own image or just buying one, however if there is more than that, then I really don't want to bother with it. There is one light that is clearly blinking and one that is staying solid, and I couldn't really tell based on your posts, which one is the one to look for.
