Thank you for the photo. There are a number of differences between the older and newer boards, so one need not be worried about the green wire soldered to the Xtal. Such wires ju…

Get an old toothbrush and some soap and see if they scrub off.

Posted an Ad wanting cheap mac laptops and someone offered me a iBook G3 500 with 'some' damage. Well the screen is scratched (not cracked but scratched), the keyboard has duct ta…

I dark green on the pins of a few chips behind the serial ports, as well as blue/green on the chip directly next to the internal floppy port. Actually, I just looked at it, many ra…

The only dead motherboard I cannot revive (so far) by replacing capacitors is one from an 840av that has some gook under important chips. I can't tell from your picture how much co…

Well, after a through cleaning/drying to see if I can get it to boot temporarily it still does the same. I'm thinking even if I replace the capacitors that it will still be dead be…

Just whatever you do, dont do what I did. xx( :'(

Does anyone on here re-cap Classic analog boards? I've got several that could use it.

Personally, if you've got a IIx, I'd leave it as a IIx if possible - remember, although the IIfx is much faster, if you upgrade it with a IIfx mobo, you'll have a IIfx, complete wi…

My Mystic CC ran with the software hack rather than the 640x480 hack, as I did not want to destroy the analog board: with 36MB ram, a full 68040, a 1GB drive and MacOS8.1, however,…

Such machine can be rescued by cleaning and drying, probably with some losses concerning the harddisk drive. Never try to start a wet computer. Make sure the computer is disconne…

I just recapped my Classic II, a bit of a pain because everything is cramped but doable. You need 3 different values, maybe 13 total aluminium capacitors going from memory.

The LC575 takes 72 pin SIMMs, officially any size from 1MB to 32MB, unofficially, up to 128MB. They can be found for sale on eBay, on here, and inside Pentium 1 and late 486 era PC…

My reply is in the other topic you made about this: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10556

Needs a proper restoration. Replace all caps on logicboard and analog board if you know what you are doing. Otherwise, let a professional do the recap for you. Also, read this: h…

Yep, just water from the basement drain backing up (ground water from around the house). I think it was under water less than 10 hours - not sure since I wasn't home when it happe…

Apple is semi unique in the fact that they do control their own market (in a royal pita 1980's way) but I often wonder about "the man" and his choices Imagine a world in which app…

I'm curious about this Silenx fan. I've seen SEs with various fans (DC Pico Ace, Elina Fan, the notorious "rat cage") but have never seen one of these in a stock SE. Of those three…
