It is Macintosh Classic II with an 80 MB HD, 4 MB of RAM and with the Connectix RAM Doubler installed. The hard drive functions just fine and has a fresh install of OS 7.5 on a die…

++ It seems like we have a plethora of suggestions for the lounge lately. While the amount of PC related stuff is annoying, instead of creating a lounge thread for each one, perh…

Of late I have noticed that the Lounge is full of Non-Mac Conquests. Now its great to hear what people has been able to find/salvage but should we not have all that in a separate …

What if it was just Conquests, and sub-forums with "Apple" and "Non-Apple"? It is a bit bothersome. I like to read the conquests, but Not every single one like "new Amiga" and the…

Although the drive may very well need to be cleaned, there hasn't been nearly enough troubleshooting to establish whether a dirty drive is his problem. Indeed, it might be argued t…

As I said in my first reply to this thread, I've found that 3-in-1 multipurpose oil or silicone grease work well. WD-40 is not a lubricant, and won't last long at all. White lithiu…

I guess we still need more information. What model is your Mac? Is there a (working) hard drive, properly formatted with a valid system installed? If there is no boot volume, then …

Haha well thanks. Yes I assumed WD-40 is not the way to go. The cable is seated just fine and it seems as if everything else is working no problemo. I use a Roland JV-1010 as my …

Titaniums are a bit of a pain to remove the logic board, at least compared to newer Macs. I helped a friend transplant some guts of one Titanium to another and it took a lot of fid…

I'm using it for live performances with my band and I'm by no means and electronics or computer whiz, just a musician who's interest is sparked by things operating at the brink of …

I've had the disk drive out, cleaned it, lubricated it, and it seems to know when there is a disk in the drive because it spits it out upon start up, unless that task is something …

I guess I'm used to forums that move a bit faster, I do apologize, I'm just very eager to get this setup working. I'm using it for live performances with my band and I'm by no mean…

No disk works in it at all, the drive doesn't even try to read it when I pop one in. I'm thinking that it is either fried or there is a weird problem relating to the logic board ne…

So if everything else on my machine is functioning as it should be, can I conclude that the floppy drive has indeed pooped the bed?

7) Use a floppy drive cleaning diskette/kit to clean the read/write heads of the drive. Although this can be done manually with rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab, it is safer to use…

Thanks for the advice. No disk works in it at all, the drive doesn't even try to read it when I pop one in. I'm thinking that it is either fried or there is a weird problem relati…

Yeah, taking it apart doesn't seem too bad. I'm a ACMT, so i've got access to the service manual and its been very helpful. I will ask you this, I've gotten very close to gettin…

Assuming your drive needs a good clean, this is the best way to do it: 1) Remove floppy drive from the computer. 2) Remove the cover. 3) Use a can of compressed air, making sure…

Perhaps there are several reasons for the non-response. One is that you have asked a question that no one can answer, given the minimal information you've provided. You've said the…

ifixit.com has nice step by step teardown instructions for your machine. There are 2 ways to fix this issue: 1. Remove the logic board entirely from the machine and clean it. 2.…

After installing system 7.5 my machine actually works a lot better, I haven't been getting any weird startup issues or anything else of the sort but as of today my disk drive doesn…

I have recently acquired an 867MHz Titanium Powerbook G4. Since having it the past few days, I've learned this thing has got a huge set if problems. Most of these I think can be …

I assume ~tl will probably come in later on and back up what I'm saying, but yeah, its not going to happen, as others have said there's no need for it since what applies to one ver…
