I can't speak for the others, but I was just trying to share my experiences from using CF in an SE/30 (and other machines) and relevant information on the subject in order to help …

Yep, Mac Bible and Mac Secrets are the two classics which alway stay on my shelf-- never in a box. Dr. Macintosh was a fun read too, and I keep Upgrading and Repairing Macs handy a…

I do know what a via is. I'm saying, I accidentally ripped off the top of one that the trace from the cap lead went to - i now have NOTHING to solder to. the ... I think the word i…

The saucer that sticks to the classic on the side? I don't have that... The soonest I could get it to you is this weekend. Hey someone here name a price for what you think the Lobo…

I doubt my continuity tester will tell me much Click to expand... nah, you could just practically reverse engineer the entire machine with a continuity tester, it wont be much …

It's light I guess. BUT I do not know if it works or not, no guarantee. Click to expand... suggest a price ... seriously, I don't have money out the ears but I am looking to ge…

BTW, from the context of your posts, it seems to me that you're describing traces, not vias. IIRC, a via is a through-hole with no component lead soldered through it. A via's purpo…

for future reference, to solder onto small items, such as pcb traces, clean off the mask, tin (that is apply a tiny amount of solder) to the pad, tin the wire THEN just melt the 2 …

Loose Solder Joints on the interconnect board? My 150 has an interconnect board labeled "Jedi Interconnect board" 1000th POST!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's light I guess. BUT I do not know if it works or not, no guarantee.

I had another go at my IIci withy the other power supply. This time it did not boot up when I plugged it in. However... it booted PERFECTLY!!! from the keyboard YES!!! I was abl…

Seems like you've nuked the classic II as I have. I can sell you my classic 2 Lobo if you want. I think it has leaky caps, but it's stock. The Analog board on mine is nuked.

Well thats weird. Now all the keys are working. I'm happy, but still, I'm convinced there's a problem there somewhere. Click to expand... Congrats! That said, intermittent bug…

Ok... an update. I decided the solder joints probably didn't take due to me not cleaning the pads after desoldering, and hence them possibly having electrolyte still on them. Thi…

But that soldering job .. I am not going there. Click to expand... Please do go there. It's rubbish, I know that. I was actually wondering if cold solder joints (it was very di…

Double check your work (make sure the + and - of the capacitors is in the correct spot). The video needs the 1uf 50V capacitors to work. No bong means either the capacitor on the …
