OK. So the Display is a NEC MultiSync LCD 1530V And Guess what the Adaptor is also made by NEC! Oh the Irony! It is still doing nothing. The Machine has no hard drive in it. A…

Contrary to popular opinion, going past the red line means you'll need a new gauge. psssh. //wthww

There is probably a better answer, but for starters if you're using system 7 it should say on the "About this Macintosh" page (from Apple menu) the model of the Macintosh that you'…

Oh man... I had that monitor for years until it went *pop* one day and never worked again. It was a BEAST to move around for LAN parties & whatnot, but I LOVED that monitor…

Oh, they're definitely 4mb SIMMs. I did a little searching and found that I was installing the SIMMs into the memory expansion card, and not the slots on the motherboard. So my n…

Sorry, it's a green wire. Although I'm pretty sure that doesn't matter

What is a Powertoggle? Click to expand... When you turn it on, wait for it to chime, and quickly shut it off and back on. It bypasses the need for a PRAM battery to be able to…

What is a Powertoggle?

The adaptor has no switches. I am away from home now. So I can't really get anymore details.

What sort of adaptor are you using? If you have an adaptor with DIP switches or a dial, you might want to adjust it to force the monitor to run at either 640x480 or 800x600.

I am pretty sure the display can display 800x600. The display is made by a company that starts with N I can't remember right now. I'll check later today and try resetting the PRA…

There is a (blue) wire soldered between the aluminium 'can' (looks like an oscillator - located by the power plug on the board) and the small square chip next to it. The capacitor…

Perhaps its a very early production model, and there was a part shortage at the time this machine was built? Or perhaps it could be a *very* late prototype? Does the board differ t…

Hi all, just bought a(nother) SE/30 on ebay, so I can practise with my imminent capacitor replacement for my 'proper' SE/30 running A/UX. The monitor's a bit ghosty and there's no …

What other resolutions does the LCD support? The Performa x2xx/x3xx internal video does not support 1024x768 - only 640x480, 800x600 and 832x624. If the display only supports 1024x…

butbutbut...the red one is even called "redline", which means it HAS to be fast - if you go past the redline, you blow the engine

Interesting - I thought that ALL PowerBooks use the keyboard as a part of the cooling system. Click to expand... The black covering on the pismo keyboard that melts when it get…

So I have a Classic II with 4 mb of RAM. I got it open (finally) removed the old memory and installed 2 4mb 30 pin SIMMs. I power up the Mac, go to "About This Macintosh" and it …

Computers back then were designed for office use and not home use correct (TV interference wasn't a major concern). Click to expand... Not true, most MICRO-Computers were desig…

I doubt this applies but my powermac is a real pita about VGA too, if you start that machine up without a monitor plugged in it defaults to the tv out, which means you gotta hook i…

So my Performa 6214 won't output video to my VGA screen. I know this adapter is good and it worked intermittentley on another screen, the screen I am trying to use is a 15" 1024x76…

I fixed the problem of the CRT not outputting Edge to Edge image, there is a small know on the back. WackyMacs: I won't solder [incorrectly ] this machine this is so far my mos…

I started at that exact same screen for 15 years yes there should be a knob on it somewhere to make it black again, altho it might be inside, if memory serves me correct there wer…
