I have been performing a recap on a LCIII, the board was pretty clean and capacitors were not completely shot, and most of all even if it was not tested before, the owner just advi…
The acetone+alcool combination seems to have produced some effect, but I'm not sure if this is to be interpreted as a positive progress or a bad sign.
Apparently, the system now *…

well there is only 8 caps to change on there so it wouldn't be a ton.
couple things to try first though.
1. double check your monitor is working, those are dying from bad caps no…

Finally had some time to look at this boy.
I tried Elfen's suggestion and scrubbed the board with alcool and a toothbrush, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. I also …

I posted this IIvi over on the trading post, but I figured I'd ask here about this specific problem.
When it went away in storage about 10 years ago, the colours on the display we…

Actually, P86 is apparently the eMac's name. This FCC testing document for the Airport Extreme has pictures of the eMac but says "P86" or "P86 EMAC".

Apollo was also used as a name for G4s, but not sure if that's …
There also appears to be, what looks like, another little port...it's black... about an inch below the white port in that first picture... that's not on production models.
I have a couple of reset buttons on my G4 EVT that aren't on production models... and it looks like yours has them too! and that longish white port in the middle too! neat! No ide…
Not seeing a P86 listed, and Apollo was used for the Classic II. That being said, P88 was used for the 1GHz TiBook, and it's not like Apple never recycles codenames.

It does not help too that Apple's modeling number system is a joke. MacTracker shows 5 "models".
700/800mhz April 2002-May 2003
800/1000mhz May 2003-Oct 2003
1000mhz Oct 2003-Ap…
^ Not sure what you mean, but there were 1ghz models.
And as much as I hate the eMac, thats cool. Protos are always sweet finds! And an EVT in the wild is an odd thing. PVTs yes, …
I've actually had this eMac since 2007 or 2008 (Leopard had JUST been released) but never really documented it or even mentioned it.
Backstory is there used to be a place in Napa …
