Restoring and Upgrading a Gigabyte GA-586ATV Socket 7 Motherboard!

Today I’ll be restoring and upgrading a Gigabyte GA-586ATV motherboard. What was supposed to be a quick upgrade quickly became more involved as is so often the case when working with retro hardware. Join me as I replace some imploding capacitors, sort out a replacement RTC module and give this 25 year old motherboard some much needed TLC.
