Cracked open the Classic ...and yes.....leaky caps galore!


What a mess!
I took some Q tips with some alcohol and cleaned off the gunk. I put everythign back together and tried it out. The machine booted with a floppy.

Seems to not want to pick up the hard drive. (But I think that is dead anyway.) It got to a desktop, but the keyboaed and mouse don't work. I powered cycled it and the checkerboard came back.
Looks like I'm going to have to replace all 7 of the 47 µf caps.
