Just older the caps from trag, de solder them out, solder the new ones in correctly (correct polarization) and BAM. Done.

Can you re-cap a Classic II board? If so, what's the cost including shipping and the caps from 43201? Thanks! Click to expand... If you send the logic board via United States P…

Pickup a Mac SE. 1mb, 800k, 20mb hard drive AND (drumroll) a Radius 25mhz 020 accelerator. :O It doesn't boot, I get a checkerboard on the screen, but I hope there's enough sal…

My friends on the other hand are VERY Careless about this. They do not care pretty much and give me their laptops to repair with their credit cards #, SSs, etc. Of course I don't …

You got lucky if it still has it's hard drive. Most recycling places yank the hard drives and scrap them which really irritates me because those early Macs use drives that are spec…

Geeko - It does have a CD drive that spins, also a floppy. I can provide a battery from a PB 5300 (NiMh) that holds a tiny charge. The unit did not come with a Li-Ion battery, they…

I'm guessing my G3 issue was a bad cache, luckily I bought 2 G3 266's in the same auction and the second card works. Unfortunately I do have the OS 9.04 upgrade issue now. I do h…

does it have a cd drive or ram (or battery)? also, is its screen good, or would i need to do a transplant w/ my screen?

G - say, I have a 3400 with very good cosmetics but the "black screen" issue - probably a dead logic board/VRAM. I think I have decided not to try and fix this one, since my other …

I made a run to the local computer recyclers last week (to pick up an imac G5 to fix for them=> now fixed and returned, only needed an os reinstall) and when I was about to …

Yeah, sound crackling seems to be common among the 3400c. Me and my brother's PB3400c make a "crackle" sound only during startup, when it's loading the sound extension. Perfectly f…

If you installed System 7.1, 7.1 Pro or 7.1.2, then you should also install System Update 3.0 System Update 3.0

Seems to be a grounding issue. if I pull the power plug and run it from battery, it completely stops. Faulty PSU perhaps?

That "copy" of Apple Personal Diagnostics 1.1.3 is likely an updater for 1.1 or 1.1.1, not a full version. Apple Personal Diagnostics was sold as commercial software, your best bet…

That's strange. I never noticed that the apple was "upside-down" when you carry the bag by its handles.

Wow! That is an awesome find, thanks for sharing the photos with us!

Now here's a good question. What would cause the speakers on the lid of the 3400c to "Crackle"? Like with static. I fixed the issue I told the seller about with the screen artifa…

I have found on Apple's site Apple Personal Diagnostics 1.1.3 but it requires Apple Personal Diagnostics 1.1 or 1.1.1 Anyone know where I can obtain a copy of the Apple Personal D…

System Update 3.0 does not change the version number of FInder or System. From my experience I got it installed on my Colour Classic, the FInder and System are still version 7.1

Got it working—I connected the iMac with target disk mode to my G4 tower, booted the tower into 9.1 copied over the system folder from the tower, then ran the 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 updat…
