Last night I opened my 512k to record all its capacitors (I think I've found a way around my worries about lead, so now I'll be ready to replace those capacitors!!! ). But anyw…

Unfortunately the only reason I opened the case was to install a fan... and in the process of hooking up that fan I blew the fan and the fuses in quite a spectacular way. Click …

Well I made some adjustments, including as suggested to the voltage, and here are the results. 1. When powering up the Mac from a Cold Start (such as turning it on after being …

Bad geometry can either be caused by the power supply or by the little magnets on the neck of the CRT. Since those magnets are a pain to work with, I'd suggest a power supply repai…

Everything you describe sounds like voltage problems. Your Mac is out of whack. Get yourself a multimeter and go to work, starting with Dr. Lee's excellent notes. Then get yourself…

2. The raster seems to be a little out of whack. I'm assuming the CRT itself needs adjustment, Click to expand... It could even be the power supply.

These issues aren't so major, but i'm after some ideas as to why they may be occuring. 1. When powering up the Mac from a Cold Start (such as turning it on after being switched of…

So this quest kind of died out this winter. I haven't really found too much more info, but I have an update. My 2400c lives again! My Mac OS 9 installation (or something :?: ) wa…

Yes, I fear that your TiBook has developed a problem with the BGA joints under the graphics chip. This problem is unfortunately widespread (the early iBooks were infamously prone t…

the gen nex is a marvelous looking piece of kit though

"Lonely Mac Syndrome" was a phrase I coined, tongue-in-cheek, to describe this machine's odd behavior (also in initial post). Essentially, as long as I was working in a program, e…

Oops! It just "burped" at me - a short, low (not bong) beep, and the cursor locked up, so still a problem with "Lonely Mac" syndrome. Maybe memory as Phreakout suggested earlier? …

SUCCESS!! Thanks all (Phreakout, Mac128, LCGuy) for your advice, here's how I finally got things to work. Using a 7.0.1 Disk Tools disk, modified with Ramdisk 3.2.3, I booted the …

using an external drive. I have considered that, but doing so would partly take away the "all-in-one," compact nature of the machine - one of its attractions to me...But you did pi…

There's several removable storage drives available for SCSI Macs on the used market, such as Zip, Jaz, MO, SyQuest, Bernoulli, etc drives. If you're really loaded there's also the …

Thanks for the tips on hard drives in the SE, Mac128. I guess that it hadn't occurred to me that they were the first with internal hard drives. Makes sense that it probably require…

I haven't seen any reference to DiskManager Mac - is this freely available software or retail? Click to expand... Honestly, I have no idea. I'm not really into HD Macs. The mos…

Mac128: Thanks for your reply, I will pursue further. I have eyeballed the caps as carefully as I can and don't see any obvious leaks so I agree with you. I have carefully cleane…

Okay, so I haven't given up yet... Got to thinking that the one constant throughout all of my problems was the System 6.0.8 image that I had been using. Different disks, some with…

Wow, I had no idea that the box would be in that nice of a condition. 8-o

It's a shame you are not local, otherwise I would have bought it from you. A 160+ mile trip is a bit too far for an SE, seeing as I already have one as well. Good luck with the sa…

For your information, I have now put the SE on ebay: ebay.co.uk item number 110426302841 the full reference being http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1…

And trying the 20 or the 4gb only gives me Sad Mac "0000000F" "00000002." Click to expand... According to Pina, "0000000F" "00000003." the problem is: "The internal hard drive …

73s: Thanks much for your reply and advice. Memory seems okay, 0F/02 only showed up when I changed drives - some kind of conflict? Tried resetting PRAM, still showed up. Tried cl…

Is the cooling plate touching the top of the cpu?, I would open it up and see what there is to see (unless you have issues doing that). Click to expand... The problem "seems" t…
