Sun NVRAM Dead Battery Fix (idprom Contents Invalid)

This video is intended to complement other written guides that are out there such as https://gigawa.lt/gigawa.lt/Sun_NVRAM.html and to simplify the very detailed NVRAM FAQ: http://www.menet.umn.edu/~bob/FAQ/sun-nvram-hostid.faq I forgot to mention one fairly important thing. You need to cut away the OPPOSITE end of the chip to where the dot is located. This is visible later in the video once the mod is complete. There will be a series of Sun videos coming up, with accompanying blog posts: http://brassicgamer.blogspot.co.uk/2017/01/reviving-old-sun-computer-part-one.html
