LC 520 Back up and running

#1 Mon, 3 May 2010 - 17:58

Over the weekend I managed to get my LC520 back in working condition. Boots from HD just fine, but looks like I need to boot from a floppy and run Disk Tools. It thinks the HD is mostly full when there's really not much on there. At least it works after washing the motherboard(I love how easy it was to remove and re-install) and letting it dry for 3 or 4 days. It had been in storage and was dirty but I guess otherwise it was OK. Also replaced the PRAM battery. Now if only my Classic II were so easy.

I going to work on the Classic II next. I posted about that in the Campacts section. I will wash it like I did the LC, with water and a toothbrush then douse it with alcohol before letting it dry for several days.

Can you tell me the value of capacitor C9 on the LC520 motherboard? I'm doing a cap job on mine, but the value printed on that capacitor is worn off.

Just received an LC520 logic board, and under the magnifying glass (!), C9 reads:

C4

10

16v

I don't think it requires an exact match so long as the values aren't lower.
