32-bit acorn hardware • Acorn A3010 Motherboard Repair

Hi All,

Just wondered if this short video may be of interest to anybody? Just a (<20 min) Vlog of an A3010 I repaired recently. Well, I got it booting anyway with video output and mouse working. I haven't tested the keyboard yet (apart from the Del key jerry rig) and I still need to check the floppy and serial parts etc in detail as had to repair quite a bid of battery / trace damage in that area.
I think it should be fine though, hopefully.

The board came off ebay form a guy who usually sells Commodore gear. He didn't quite know what to make of it. Bit of result.

Anyway, here is the video:

Does anybody know where I might source an A3010 top cover (or even the full plastic case)? I have a spare A3000 keyboard here already as I have fixed 4 of them so far, for my sins Pretty stuck on the case though. I do have the bottom plastic part. It was kindly given to me by GadgetUK164 and I think it was very kindly given to him by Zarchos, so thanks very much for that Zarchos!
