Apple doesn't replace motherboards because of leaking capacitors anymore. The machine in question is now 4.5 years old and did not have Applecare. According to http://www.apple.com…

...and I can't find a working link. anyone wanna volunteer a DC42 or RAW floppy of it?

...and no luck. I'll try the superbooter.

the 7.5 nad worked fine before. the problem is NONE of my bootdisks are working: an old 7.5nad (system error) the new one (bus error) the 7.6 disk tools disk (happy mac, then back …

My current recommendation is to contact Apple and elevate the issue to a supervisor. The supervisor will almost certainly give you a free repair. Capacitor replacement is no longer…

Just try a different boot disk (i.e SuperBooter 7.5)

You fixed a bus error by washing the mobo? how would I go about washing the mobo?

As I've said in another thread here recently, I used to get this a lot with an LC 575...washing the motherboard took care of the problem. It could be cap related, or any number of …

I just wrote a System 7.5 NAD floppy to complete the OS 8 on LC III hack, anjd was gretted with "Sorry, a system error occurred. bus error to temoporarly turn off" blah blah blah..…

Any good old fashioned TV repair person could do it - you don't necessarily need someone who knows computers, you just need someone handy with a soldering iron and a good collectio…

This is my favorite PPC machine, hands down. I affectionately call mine weirdway. I even used it as a sever for a bit. NetBSD & Linux run like a charm [as does OS9 &amp…

heat is actually the main issue with that setup, with the SE case being nearly hermetic, and the Mini's fan having to do all the job. Click to expand... I took another look at …

Some more thoughts about the airflow in a SE's case: I built my Macminitosh putting a Mac Mini inside a SE case. And heat is actually the main issue with that setup, with the SE ca…

I had one, nice machine. Heavy as all get out though. The power lead going to the drives stopped working, which basically made it useless unless I used another power supply. Gave i…

I though he said something cropped up and that wasn't offered any more. If I were you guys, I'd still give a shot and see if Apple will bother with it.

Got the G4 upgrade, runs great... It's alot snappier than with the G3.... and I recieved my Apple DVD-R and that works great... just wait ing for my ebay pci wireless card.. it …

Great point there Mac128 - the plastic dust cover on the later SuperDrives completely slipped my mind.

It might also be important to note that most floppy drives do heat up during operation (although probably more so 5.25" than 3.5" drives). Click to expand... I would say defini…

The ChipQuik is a bit of overkill for capacitors, but it will make them easier to remove using just one soldering pencil. However, using two pencils is faster, about as easy and …

Wow, really? Go, Aussie dollar! Time to consider US$ purchase again.

So without a fan I would be concerned about damaging components in the PSU due to excessive trapped heat....Apple included a fan with the SE to try and avoid any reoccurrence of th…
