The plastics around the speaker assemblies are brittle. When you move my iMac G3 Around, you here bits and pieces shaking...

I finally got around to tearing down the old Macintosh 512k to see what the problem is. Visually the electronics appeared fine, so it looks like I need your help, 68kMLA. It has t…

I know what caps look like. there are none on the top of the mobo. Click to expand... :lol: You obviously don't know what they look like. I can see them on your photos quite …

G'day Mars, Yeah, it won't power on at all and gives off a warm plastic smell, so you're probably right as to the reason for it's deadness. Bits of brittle plastic dropped out of…

Check the speaker connections/try swapping the speaker units around. If there is no change, everything might be due for a cap replacement. trag sells complete IIci kits though.

The Bernoulii wasn't really all that rare and was actually a slightly better technology than Syquest's. Click to expand... Yeah - I've got the 2nd edition of Macs for Dummies, …

I know what caps look like. there are none on the top of the mobo. It looks like the 68030 chip is on the bottom too.

Nah, the caps are on the top, like the small "can" like thingies you see on the motherboard. I believe every Mac has caps, but the SE/30/Classic II/Classic/SE/IIci/II/IIx/IIfx/LC …

Aah. I'm assuming the caps are on the bottom of the mobo? Also, what model(s) dont have caps? And the caps appear to be fine. No squeaking noises here!

...And (finally) Pics!

No, the pizza box series does definitely have caps, and when you hear a squeaking sound, it's likely that they are going. I doubt yours has that problem since it would have bee…

Oops! My uploads hung and only the first couple of photos were uploaded. Forgive my ignorince here, but IIRC, aren't the "pizza box" macs one of the few without capiciters?

hot air, quickchip and solder paste is all abit overkill for some capacitors, I replace them all the time with a standard iron and a gentle hand, but whatever floats your boat, lea…

I am trying the Radius Direct Color GX, with an NEC Adaptor to both of my VGA CRTs and none of them detect it :-/ When I get back to NY, I'll try it with the LCD that worked wi…

I've owned.....5 ProDrive ELS's over the years, one of which was brand new (it was in our LCIII, which Dad bought brand new back in 1993). All of them are dead. I've also owned....…

Unfortunately, you are wrong. The Quantum ProDrive ELS that was originally installed in my Macintosh LC 475 died a while back. The Quantum ProDrive LPSes/LTs are the good ones a…

OK... The ProDrive ELS HDs are the good ones, right? Pics still uploading. 13%

Nice! Enjoy your Macintosh LC III!

It's here!!!!!! I'm uploading pics as I type this!

Great tips, Bunsen! Have you done an in-depth study of where hot air stagnates inside the case? I've always loved the 6100. It's a great little machine, but the 30/33MHz bus is …

No, it's just your VGA monitor's problem. and tbh, I have never seen a 30-pin one strangely. xD and the radius card will prob. work with an LCD w/adapter fine.

Phew! So an Adaptor that I am using will NOT work... I also have the Radius Card in one of them, Does that have the same restrictions as the On-Board Video? Are the RAM Doublers…
