Also, just missed out on a Lombard that went for 21 pounds (I bid 20). I think it was a Lombard, I spent hours looking at pics and specs trying to find out. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/…

3 to 4 hours last time on the Indigo, swapped the hard drive out (hence the Tiger donar for the Blueberry) + changed the CD drive for a combo. I wish I'd thought of doing the FSB …

Now display seems to always lit. When it is lit I hear a noise. Is it normal? But I continue to get this message "No battery reserve power remains. The Macintosh will go to sleep…

It definitely sounds like a bad capacitors issue, which also is associated with Simasimac. Symptoms include low volume or no sound at startup, zebra-like pattern, checkerboard or …

It's a hard repair, I must say, but not the hardest I've done. I did this upgrade to my Graphite with a 20GB HD, it dissassembles the laptop completely, just to get to the HD.

Ye-ouch! I'm hoping mine was 'just' the motherboard and the processor daughtercard...at current used prices, plus shipping to and from, the damage on mine might be as low as $80 o…

You might not think it's such a good deal if you plan on replacing the hard drive. Getting inside those things is a notorious PITA.

That's an amazing deal! Congrats!

It has arrived !! As described, 300mhz, 288mb, 3gb with a dead battery and cracks around the apple under the screen + the plastic on the handle No airport card, 10.2 was installe…

ok lets start again. I found a color classic on new zealands ebay trademe.co.nz it would not boot.. so when it came i looked inside bad caps. replace the caps and booted it up…

You really do need a battery. 6 Volt lead-acid type as for a burglar alarm, if you don't want to rebuild an original battery. The AC adapter doesn't supply enough surge current, ev…

Got it working! Located a ][ Plus in working shape, and put the stuff in it. I've been going through the diskettes checking each one for read errors, locating backups and duplicate…

Does that mean that if you put the Portable ROM in an SE and adjusted some decoding in the GLUE chips to point at the right places the SE could have 8 MB of RAM? I guess you'd also…

- I've read the portables need a battery because the power supply isn't enough to operate properly. You need to leave the battery in the Portable. - Did you look in the Control pa…

Sounds like bad caps to me based on what the other guys are saying in the other threads the past few weeks. I'm sure one of them more in the know will have some idea more than me …

Have you tried external speakers?

Hey all, I'm new here. I just picked up an SE/30 on eBay for a decent price (always wanted one of these to add to my collection). It works great except when you boot it from a col…

I take it from the context here that the motherboard stays powered alive if a battery is left in a Pismo eh? That sucks... been there too. I fried my only IIGS motherboard back …

That certainly would make some sense electrically if all that is different is a higher ohm rating of the total termination value. Might have to try that at some point when I have …

Yeah I tried that, it still doesn't work. I'm starting to think the floppy has died. I do have a spare Superdisk drive that got out of a dead Classic that I can try. IIRC it did…

id put a multimeter on it and at least see if its putting out 12v and 5v on the drive power lines, regardless on how much power your drawing from it, your not going to get very far…

No clue, but I did unplug the monitor from the second plug on the power supply just in case it was drawing too much power.

have any clue what voltages the power supply is putting out
