IIfx Won't boot — #14
Ok interesting little development. On a whim I put all the memory back in and plugged the IIgs monitor into the card. The monitor isn't perfect, but I can sort of see what's goin…

Try installing only 4 matching RAM SIMMs in RAM Bank A, leaving Bank B empty. Then try the other set of 4 matching RAM SIMMs in Bank A, again leaving Bank B empty. If it still do…
SE vs. Portable ROM, 8 MB RAM in SE? — #2
That's an interesting notion, but I kind doubt its application in the "real world," but I've been wrong before. If you want to address more RAM in the SE, watch eBay for one of the…

I took out all the memory and I still get the chime, but no keyboard click or light flash.
There are two different brands of memory stick in the machine. Four of each

SE vs. Portable ROM, 8 MB RAM in SE? — #1
This tech note:

states that:
"The Macintosh Portable contains 256K of processor ROM, which is fundamentally…

Already tried resetting the PRAM (got the second Chime) and reseating all the RAM and the ROM. Nothing. I have a disk in the drive, that's what I'm trying to boot from, but it ne…

My guess is that it's not even getting to the point in the boot sequece where it tries to read from a floppy. Video would defintely help here. It seems to be past the ADB check sin…
Pismo Accident...Ugh...What Should I Expect? — #4
I haven't specifically killed a Pismo, I killed a Classic 2 and PB 150, by rushing, which you and I alike have done. I know nothing about Pismo's save for that they are nice powern…

Tried the PRAM reset again, no dice. I suppose the disk drive could be bad, but its not even hitting once. It's like the system is just sitting there waiting for something.

Make sure you get at least to the third chime when resetting the PRAM. Not everything is reset only on the second chime.
We also can't rule out a bad floppy drive. Do you have a…

BTW what does the jumper at J103 and J106 do (towards the front center of the board)? There's no Jumper on 103 but there is on 106.

Black Terminator for the IIfx — #7
I've heard that you can use two normal terminators in a row and it acts similar to a black terminator on the IIfx. I don't have a citation for this though.

I was under the impression that the IIfx had NO electrolytics on the logic board. I could be wrong, but that's what I seem to remember. I know for sure that the Quadra 700 doesn'…
Pismo Accident...Ugh...What Should I Expect? — #3
Thanks, Mars. (What a great club.) Any advice re how much gets borked? Motherboard and processor card only, or more than that?

Well, I seem to have had a triple-biorhythm low kind of day on Saturday - either that or I was just stupid! Managed to lose my glasses AND fry one of my Pismos, all within two hour…

Leaking capacitors do not usually explode; they usually leak a barely visible (as in, transparent) conductive liquid which spreads widely, being oily.
The solution to this is (a) …
Offering of my services to the 68kmla community — #26
What do you think, Bunsen? Does this post warrant being changed to a sticky or should I send you a revised post with all the info needed? Let me know via PM, please.
Thank you.

How many have a Powermac G5? — #36
In what ways, specifically, did the G5 outperform the mini? I don't think anybody actually said that things which were completely disk-bound would be better on a mini, although I d…

Can you explain a bit more? I'm not sure what you mean by 'wash the logic board' (unless you mean physically cleaning it with some sort of cleaner).

This behaviour sounds just like that of my 840av before I washed the logic board. (I know, it needs new caps really.) Much a-goo about everything, as it turned out, though on first…

I figured I'd better start a different thread about this issue as the monitor thread wasn't really appropriate. If the mods feel otherwise feel free to close this thread.
