I found a black block rattling around inside my Spectrum +2. I’m assuming this is some sort of standoff.
Does any one know where this is supposed to go on the motherboard? Should it be attached to a chip with thermal compound?

Re: Spectrum +2 standoff
I’ve seen one of them before. It definitely is not a heatsink. So no, it does not need to be attached to any chip. But I’m not sure of it’s function, or where it came from.

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb
Looking forward to summer later in the year.
