I usually use a thin screwdriver. I know, not the recommended way of doing it, but as long as you are extremely gentle, you should be fine. I've been doing this for years, and have…

Unless you have a proper IC puller, or some other device that can get under and lift both sides at the same time, then the trick is to ease each side up a very small amount at a ti…

I guess every machine is different. Since the addition of the 3rd drive, it's been noticeably warmer in my room which is nice because the heating for the house isn't so great u…

A broad (1"+) wood chisel can be used to pry the processor out of the socket, working slowly one side at a time. You don't hit it, you turn it like you might a screwdriver, and you…

Then the only change was that holes were drilled in the case. I had assumed that the case without holes in the side must have had a speaker grill elsewhere, and so that the speaker…

I'm finally getting around to swapping the 68LC040 in my Q605 for a full 68040. I have a 68040 donor machine ready to go, put I have no experience pulling chips. Any advice on wher…

My Classic two has the speaker grille but the speaker as far as I know has not moved in either iteration of Classic II!

There were indeed two different Classic II cases, the difference between them being the speaker location. Whether there was a corresponding change in the logic board configuration …

Both built in Singapore, and both boards indicate they were assembled there too. Pina's book lists the part numbers for the 4 chip ROM board only which is odd as it's dated 1993 w…

Where did the speakers get relocated to? Click to expand... They didn't. I don't know what he's talking about. I have heard that the CLassic II had two different ROM configs, …

Is the change perhaps associated with when the speaker was moved? That would be easier to pin down to a specific date. Click to expand... In these two, the speakers are located…

After looking through all the topics in this forum, I don't see that this has come up before; my apologies if it has. I have two logic boards, both marked as Classic II and dated …

Hmm... That is weird. I have my Sawtooth G4 maxed out with three HDs and it's DVD drive, Everything worked fine. I know yours is a quicksilver, but they're not that far apart. I h…

Switching both to cable select worked. Which is strange because I've always been told that optical drive buses on mac's weren't "smart" enough to know which is which and label them…

I get an address error. Can anyone help???

I install the CD Sunrise driver today with System 6.0.8 and when I stuck a CD in the drive I get a error of some sort (I can't remember right now). What else could I try? Thanks,…

JDW is quite correct -- poor focus is not caused by a logic board problem (except, perhaps, indirectly by loading the power supply; that possibility is quickly checked by simply me…

I have never had any caps "knocked off" when I have removed or inserted SE/30 logic boards. But I used to be a service tech for the now defunct MicroAge so I know how to exercise …

Dec. 31 /09 Almost New Years Eve: Thank you all good folks who replied to my problem. Phreakout (Joe), I enjoy your postscripts. Here's one I just made up: (Hey Joe, where you…

Try setting the jumpers on the back of both drives to CS (cable select). Also, take the RAM down from 1.25GB to say 512MB, if possible. Sometimes OSX will do funky things when yo…

JDW is correct on what he has said. Most display issues are centralized around analog technology, hence the analog board. If it were a problem centralized with the logic board, y…

unless that filter chip is flooding the system with noise, course if it were enough to cause focus issues on a totally different system its going to cause all sorts of havoc
