Hello guys!
I've been given a not-recapped Macintosh LC that's behaving strangely.
It powers up and chimes very happily (though the volume is low, so it's in need for a recap soon), it boots without an issue from an external SCSI drive, it recognizes internally connected SCSI drives (though, if they are bigger than 4 GB, it complains that a 68040 is needed to handle them)... but all along, it makes a very strange whining noise.
It's a high pitched noise, like a whistle of some sort, that gradually goes down in tone until it eventually stops - it's very annoying, and most of all it changes tone when the internal SCSI drive is being accessed. I almost fear turning it on, I don't want to damage anything on the logic board!
What could it be? Is it something caps-related too? I've never experienced such a behavior on any of my other 68k Macs!
