Colour Classic Not Booting After Correct Sequence & Recap
Yes, iMic's runs at 220, but I am pretty sure the CC is 110/200 auto switching. Should say on the back. If so, then yes for sure they are all the same.
did you re-cap the analog board?
i would re-cap the analog board, follow iMic's image, then re-adjust those pots.

Hey uni, that's exactly what I'm aiming to do sometime next week. I've looked carefully at the analogue board and I don't see any major surprises (unlike iMic's first encounter), but it's very likely a re-cap job that's needed to fix the colour issues. Once that's done, I'm hopeful that everything will be squared away. I've got an LC 550 motherboard on its way, which is great, but it also means that my restoration of the CC's mobo may have been a bit of a waste of time! Oh well, if the 550 works out, maybe someone would be interested in the original. Anyway, I'll keep the thread updated once I've re-capped the analogue board. Cheers!
Oh, and unity, you were right!

Just finished recapping a CC yesterday and it wouldn't boot. I resoldered any suspect points on the analogue board and checked the vias mentioned in here... Then I put a small 3V watch cell where the (dead) PRAM battery was... and it booted. Yay! This puppy is maxed at 10MB, i installed a spare 256 VRAM card and FPU.
Also Lazarus, you are missing the green channel completley. I'd put it back to the "rosy" colour and focus on getting any hint of green to appear.

Great work on the CC revival! I'm glad everything is looking good for you. In regards to my colour issues, I'll likely recap the analogue board and see where I'm at after that. You're correct, though, I'll likely have have to reset the colours back to where they were, as my adjustments will have flooded the screen with blues to overcompensate for the reds. The green channel seemed to work, but not well. Perhaps that's a cap issue. Will update soon!
Well, I replaced every capacitor on the analogue board but one (I bought the wrong physical size, and it doesn't fit) AND the CC has normal colours again!!
Can someone remind me of the utilities available to calibrate the colour of the screen? Cheers!

Yea, you use an adjustment tool and tweak the drives until the color is good.
I remember reading in a couple places of an official Apple utility that helps you calibrate your screen as well as a third-party app. Anyone know what either of those is called? Thanks!
good job man!
