I have done many re-caps of these so far.

In fact i have an 11 board job coming.

I'v noticed re-work on many of these boards, both the 5120 and 5126.

Replaced Regulators

Replaced VLSI chips

Replaced ROM chips.

Wrap directly from the 68000 cpu to an other i/c.

I am wondering if these re-works were apple care or factory.

Seems like the whole Macintosh Portable idea was a bit of a mess… and super expensive too.

6 / 7 K for one.
