The SCSI interface in the Plus was taken almost exactly from the Dr. Dobbs article and from 3rd party interface cards based on it. This resulted in several weaknesses. First, since…
I tried taking out the battery, reseating the CPU card and everything else again, waiting, pressing the red button, and still nothing. Pressing the power button starts the fans run…
I will definitleyly try that. May be I should scour a 1.42ghz Drive cover so that they do that to this one!

I wouldn't recommend doing that purposefully. It…

Before you dare touch a soldering iron again, go down to the local thrift / goodwill / junk shop and pick up the oldest VCR they have and practice until you have a confident method…
Noisy either way, and irritatingly so.
When I get around to cleaning the PS, I will also oil the fan or else replace it, and as the drive is dead anyway, I'll install something qu…
Don't solder anything yet. Try asking Apple first. Call 1-800-SOS-APPL or whatever their phone number is. Talk to the first guy, who will probably deny the repair, then ask to spea…

Both my IIfx units have 6 Nubus cards installed, the fan is not that loud (not compared to a 950 anyway). Are you saying it is noisy with the cover off or on?
Cool. I thought about ReCapping it as the other option is throwing out and I would hate to do that to a 1.25ghz emac.
Anyways its good practice as I have to do it to my G5 (Leaky …
First of all, stop using the system immediately, Unplug it and remove the board if you have to.
If you follow that advice, then you may have a pretty cheap repair job on your hand…
This is well off topic, but is your IIfx really loud? That fan really wants to move a lot of air, doesn't it?
Presumably the fan has to be reasonably powerful in order to cool up …
So an eMac at my school has been acting up. I checked the CD Drive cover and it indicated to me that it is a 1.25ghz machine.
What the machine does is, Sometimes not wake up from …
My 2nd IIfx is a mac II with a IIfx upgrade (and IIfx sticker on the bottom of the case). The IIfx upgrade came with a superdrive (since the II was an 800K equipped machine). Very …
I will, I think, give it a whirl, then, sometime in a month or so. Maybe putting it through a rinse cycle in the dishwasher would do the trick - I can then let the dishwasher take …

Thanks, Franklinstein. I cleaned out the innards and tightened the screws. Everything seems fine now. It was very strange when it was happening, though. I always have Activity Moni…
You could return it to the bin, after appropriate rendition of "The Last Post".
Does it have an external SCSI connector, and do you have an external SCSI CD-ROM and appropriate co…
I have hosed off old AT power supplies with hot water (and a little liquid soap) before. As long as you let them dry out (few days to a week depending on local humidity) for a whil…
