As I have no idea how to test the onboard capacitors I will have to replace them all. oof Click to expand... Well that's a good thing anyway, as they are over 20 years old!

Surface mount caps can leak from underneath and sometimes you wont see the goo until you remove them. Click to expand... 9 out of 10 times i hear that i think people are mistak…

PSU is a refurb I purchases as initially I thought it was faulty. As I have no idea how to test the onboard capacitors I will have to replace them all. oof

Surface mount caps can leak from underneath and sometimes you wont see the goo until you remove them. Capacitors inside the PSU itself are probably due for replacement anyway.

No luck even after the MC68030 which was 'borrowed' from a working Mac.

So, I've recently discovered that Carnegie Mellon's computer club owns a Lisa 2/10 (unfortunately with Mac XL mods). I'm trying to get this machine operable again, but we want to …

From my notes: The IIfx introduced a new implementation of Mac SCSI that was faster than previous versions. Unfortunately, IIfx SCSI introduced a set of quirks that are unique to …

The 550 board is, if I recall, identical to the Color Classic II and is easily swappable. Keep in mind the 520 and 550 use the 68030; the machines mentioned in the original post al…

You type PR#1 at the BAISC (]) prompt to output anything typed. As per paper they can use tractor feed or normal loose leaf depending on what mode you have it in.

Wait what paper does it use as well?

I don't have applesoft or anything else! Just the command line after doing Control-Reset and playing with it.

Also almost every dotmatrix printer ever can self test. With my model, you can either hold down TOF/QUIET while you turn it on or hold down line feed while you turn it on. The Imag…

You can test the printer by typing PR#1 at the Applesoft prompt (assuming the printer card is in slot 1)... after that all output should be redirected to the printer. Type somethin…

I Have an OkiData printer as well! It came in a bundle with my ][e! I am not sure if it works as I have no way of testing it, because my ][e has no software. Mine is Okidata Microl…

Found this at a salvation army today, had no sticker on it so the guy said I could have it for $3.50. Came with two manuals and a somewhat dry but still decent ribbon. Self tests j…

I think that terminator was to fix noise problems, terminate the SCSI chain like you normally would for any other mac.

Having never owned one (until now) I am not sure exactly how the SCSI on the IIFX is different other than the black SCSI terminator. The unit I got (free) has the IIFX, 3 video ca…

It originally had a 68030/16 so any 68030 should work when installed.

Memory slot tabs are broken and RAM is held in place with little bit of dough (i think) I will try to remove ALL ram one pair to see if the helps and will add CPU directly to boar…

What is that crud by the RAM (dust or did somebody break off the retaining tabs and glue the RAM in)? Also looks like you might have RAM that isn't matched in one bank. Try remov…

No idea how to check capacitors Click to expand... look for goop around metal cans

Can you take a decent picture of the motherboard with cards removed?

ROMM SIMM installed. Power switch in the back (and ones on the side) all click. No idea how to check capacitors

Does it contain a stock SE motherboard Click to expand... No. The Dynamac went down that path, apparently, and used my favourite retro display tech - electroluminescent. http…
