(correct polarization) has anyone ever warned a noobie to this operation about the different markings? anyway the caps that need to be replaced are polarized, meaning they have a…

Just older the caps from trag, de solder them out, solder the new ones in correctly (correct polarization) and BAM. Done.

Can you re-cap a Classic II board? If so, what's the cost including shipping and the caps from 43201? Thanks! Click to expand... If you send the logic board via United States P…

That's a simple Cap replacement. Just swap the caps. Click to expand... Do you have a link to the fix? The Japanese website I ususally use for that stuff doesn't seem to be up …

Pickup a Mac SE. 1mb, 800k, 20mb hard drive AND (drumroll) a Radius 25mhz 020 accelerator. :O It doesn't boot, I get a checkerboard on the screen, but I hope there's enough sal…

My friends on the other hand are VERY Careless about this. They do not care pretty much and give me their laptops to repair with their credit cards #, SSs, etc. Of course I don't …

You got lucky if it still has it's hard drive. Most recycling places yank the hard drives and scrap them which really irritates me because those early Macs use drives that are spec…

Geeko - It does have a CD drive that spins, also a floppy. I can provide a battery from a PB 5300 (NiMh) that holds a tiny charge. The unit did not come with a Li-Ion battery, they…

I'm guessing my G3 issue was a bad cache, luckily I bought 2 G3 266's in the same auction and the second card works. Unfortunately I do have the OS 9.04 upgrade issue now. I do h…

does it have a cd drive or ram (or battery)? also, is its screen good, or would i need to do a transplant w/ my screen?

G - say, I have a 3400 with very good cosmetics but the "black screen" issue - probably a dead logic board/VRAM. I think I have decided not to try and fix this one, since my other …

I made a run to the local computer recyclers last week (to pick up an imac G5 to fix for them=> now fixed and returned, only needed an os reinstall) and when I was about to …

Yeah, sound crackling seems to be common among the 3400c. Me and my brother's PB3400c make a "crackle" sound only during startup, when it's loading the sound extension. Perfectly f…

Seems to be a grounding issue. if I pull the power plug and run it from battery, it completely stops. Faulty PSU perhaps?

Now here's a good question. What would cause the speakers on the lid of the 3400c to "Crackle"? Like with static. I fixed the issue I told the seller about with the screen artifa…

OS 9.1 is supported on x100 series Macs so long as you use an original Mac OS 9.1 install CD. You cannot use a Mac OS 9.0 or 9.04 CD + the downloadable 9.1 updater. If you don't h…

9.0.x yes, and I think 9.1. 9.2.x, no.

Just want to let you know, I got the laptop (Will write the guy a PM after this) and right now, I am on wifi posting through Classilla. Btw, classichasclass did a really good job …

Very insightful comments trag, thank you. I played a bit with the CE pins before, attempting to make a direct connection to ground which didn't help. I think I'll test the voltag…
