Hi guys,

I recently got this Quadra 605 from ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260510108280

However, it doesn't work. When I tried to turn it on the hard drive spun but i got no video at all. :-/

There are a few things wrong with it:

First off, a capacitor is missing from next to the SIMM slot. (1st photo, upper right of slot) I guess I need to solder it back on, but I have very little soldering experience.

Of course the PRAM battery is missing, does it need one to start? If so, where should I get one from.

Lastly, it has an overclock switch installed- any idea which position it should be in?

Feel free to ask more questions, ill try to answer them best I can.

Thanks for your help,
