I hope that doesn't mean you don't plan on opening the case again. Aside from the fan, your analogue board is showing signs of age, despite adjusting your voltages the Mac is exhib…

I remember a lot of old games used to come with both B&W and Colour binaries, and on Power Macintoshes you would often have to run the B&W version in order not to g…

Using hot glue is advised if the computer is going to experience a lot of vibration. In an ordinary home desktop environment, it's unlikely that you'll need to use glue. I have a f…

Should we hot glue replacement components? Capacitors vibrate but does the glue make any difference to life span?

Oxidation, nothing, that's corrosion, and it looks like something got spilled on the board.
How can you tell that C1 has been replaced? Looks to me like the original factory hot g…

Hi,

QT 1.5 was the first to support Cinepak, I believe, but I'm not sure if I have it. I definitely have 2 and above, so I will just have to fire up my old Plus and see if anything use…

I always thought it had something to do with the VRAM. If you had too much VRAM you could not take the Mac down to black and white.
I think the cutoff was 2 MB. I remember that my…

If I wasn't going to install that fan, then i'd never have opened the case, and i'd never have adjusted the voltages. Simple....I somehow doubt i'll attempt the installation again.…

Are you sure? I don't think I've ever seen any PCI based Mac that could go down to 16 colors or B&W. The lowest you can go is 256 greys.

That anode cap is indeed a pain to remove. I usually use a small pair of pliers (from an eyeglass repair kit) to get the clip on one side pressed in and then use the pliers to remo…

A decent solution may be to use the SlideShow program from Kid Pix. You'll need either Kid Pix 2 or Kid Pix Companion. I'm not sure if the program itself can run on a 1MB machine s…
