TT-2: Data General microNOVA Fan Meltdown

Added 2025-03-30 01:17:53 +0000 UTC

Hello!

This is a simple second channel video on a repair I had to do to the microNOVA after one of it's fans failed. I also wanted to take a moment to shout out bone conduction headphones as a fantastic safety option when working around things like this because the fan problem would have been a lot worse without them.

This is a continuation of my attempts to mix in some more lower effort stuff on the second channel. The production method I'm aiming for with these is completely different form my main channel videos. Specifically I shot this with just my phone and the Rode Wireless mics I got during the office move. I'm using the Blackmagic Camera App which I have a lot of problems with, the color space it uses makes zero sense so the footage might look a little weird. But it has other features I really like so its a mixed bag.

I had started editing the next proper video in the DG series but I think it's going to be better off being half scripted so its taken a different turn from my original plans. Which is nice I'm working far ahead again for things like that. I've lost a lost of my lead though after I just had another critical issue with the Dasher terminal I had to fix...but that will another video. This continues to be quite the project for sure.
