Very dirty, it has regained its cleanliness and partly its colors but there remains a small problem to resolve

Description :
===========
It was my friend Freddy who showed me this PC-1640 for sale. With its hard drive and EGA, for the price it was and complete, I jumped on it.
There was also this DMP-1 for sale separately, but as I don't have the will of collecting printers, I passed on it.
As I had to take it on site and I didn't have time, I asked on the Discord and a subscriber offered to take it for me.
The nice seller decided to give the printer along with the machine.
A few months passed and as I didn't have the opportunity to meet my subscriber, I went to see him and I picked up this PC-1640.
I didn't expect it to have a breakdown, but hey these machines are 40 years old or almost, you have to expect problems.
In this video, I am restoring it because it is very dirty and a little yellow. I didn't have the parts to repair this memory problem but it works if you turn it on and let it warm up for 5 minutes. I will order the parts hoping that the problem is indeed the 2 memory chips at the edge of the card and perhaps also those which are above 512kb.
Good viewing.
