I would try the basic basic setup. Pull all RAM except 2 x 16 MB DIMMS, A twin turbo card if you still have it or the oldest PCI video card in PCI Slot 1 (close to the CPU), conne…

If it is an older 9600, it may not be compatible with the 604ev CPU from your 8600. What is the CPU speed marked on the front of the 9600 case? Or if that doesn't exist, the mother…

My recommendation after owning all three would be the 1400c and the 2300c. The 3400c is notorious for failing as already mentioned, and 8.6 on a 1400c with 64MB RAM is perfect. As …

i have done about 4 of them different ways, the last one i did, placed the battery on a 2x4 and used a dead blow and hit the seam all the way around and it broke free , turned out …

i want to recell or at least put a battery inside the original battery case but can't figure out a way to remove the top without causing a lot of damage. Has anyone managed to fig…

Any chance you'd be interested in parting with the 200MP (with or without the matching) name badge? I'd really like to reassemble my old system from college (nostalgia). drop me a…

there is a cap right next to the scsi chip, and that cap leaks into the scsi chip as well. its a problem with the LC-III there is also a spot where the solder mask was not good fo…

Did you replace the cable?

I'm very attached to my LCIII.  It was the first Mac that I purchased brand new, back when I was at Uni.  I bought it to 'replace' my SE/30 (it didn't replace the SE/30 - I still h…

I am posting this from my recently conquered and initially troublesome, but now operational 9600/200MP which I received as some of you might recall from a member a couple of hundre…

Let me know if you need a mainboard, I have a ROM 1 I'd be willing to give you for the cost of gas/postage/packing

Now the G5 has a head again... those underlid shots. This thing is spotlessly clean inside! Next one to test will be the IIsi... allegedly has PSU issues. As for the 9600, no …

Well I have another confirmed runner to add to this thread... the IIvx I scored as part of my Canberra haul finally got plugged in and fired straight up with a clean install of 7.5…

So, would this translate to new motherboard time then?

I have tested all keys and there is no problem, I think that I have an oscillation due to a faulty component in the sound circuit.

Thanks Elfen!  Next week I'll have an exam break at university, so I hope I'll have a couple of days to give this little boy some care. Seems like a reasonably easy fix, at least …

This is probably an international analog board, the capacitor references will be different...

It's possible, they dont look like they have leaked, but it couldnt hurt, any other ideas?

Yeh I can't see too many circumstances where the brightness would need to be hard-altered unless an actual compoonent was failing and causing the screen to dim... there seems to be…

Yes, but its controlled via software anyway. So it more of a way to hardware set the max brightness.

That would make  a degree of sense also given the lack of external brightness control knob. Cheers!

Brightness is lower I think. Upper is either contrast or focus - I use it to sharpen the display.

So, under that cover panel on the Classic just above the power switch, there are what appear to be two unlabelled adjustable potentiometers or such on the analogue board... I've ne…
