Uniserver's method should work pretty well The only thing i'll add is that if you can't get it to crack take a sharp knife and score round the seal and try giving it another go (t…

Damn.  Recap then.  I suppose I should do my Q650 at the same time - even though it works perfectly. Could a flat battery cause a problem like this too? I will test with the Zip …

I gave the battery to an "expert". He cracked it open and replaced the cells inside. Total cost was high but not unreasonably high, about 60 euros for the batteries plus fit. Kn…

sure maybe you have bad luck.  or maybe you need to recap them... that sounds like a good idea.

@uniserver - Two logic boards, both of which were working a couple of months ago, now display the same fault at the same time?  Is that not a bit of a coincidence?

Had a bit of a positive development which I posted about here because I couldn't find this thread (even though it was staring me in the face lol)... basically put a 3rd video card …

I'd dump the 1400c - if you have a maxed out Duo 2300c, it's a much nicer machine and more interesting machine to play around with with although the keyboard is pretty horrible to …

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…

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…

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?

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?

There was no result of the initial powerup, but C12, Y1 and D1 were all missing.  The analog board seems to be fine, and (if I'm not misremembering), there was power to both the fl…
