Bless your heart for responding to my poor issue and trying to help me! I had Googled everything I could (looked at over 40 pages on all the searches that would yield more than 40 pages and all the pages on anything less, and in the process of my research, including downloading the classicmacs2.pdf file, it indicated that out of 100% of common problems with black and white compact Macs, the chance that multiple capacitors could be bad without looking obviously bad as you state is .1% or something like that. As I stated, not a single capacitor on the analog board (or what ones are on the digital board) look obviously bad, and without wanting to kill my poor 128k in the process of fixing it, I couldn't find out that it was bad without having any bulging whatsoever on either side (I am referring to the infamous capacitor C1 and the capacitor on the other side of the brightness adjustment grommet-thing here.)

Who would have known a capacitor would fail without looking obviously bad (especially not more than one?) Thanks for the advice and now I have to find someone who can test capacitors without getting shocked by the voltage (like your excellent repair-person.) I knew someone would know something on here.

Thanks so much and have a blessed day!
