That does not ring any bells for me.  Doesn't mean it never existed, but does mean that it must have been pretty obscure if it did. There were issues putting G4 upgrades into the …

I would double check polarity on your caps, and then just retouch all the solder points once more, make sure everything is good.

Nope. Open traces.

It's by no means a Lisa or 128k level of special to me, so I'll more than likely go for the LCD transplant route. Make the machine so much lighter, easier to move, and a tad more p…

Yes I connected two different known good drives internally. An 80MB and 350MB. The drives are seen and will boot the system when I put them in an external SCSI enclosure and connec…

Mmmmm at this point in time, a machine has to be fairly special to warrant me bothering with a flyback replacement. If one were to fail on either of my iMacs for instance, I dare s…

I recall reading somewhere... fairly recently even, that there was a certain CPU upgrade available for the 9xxx/8xxx/7xxx series PowerMac's that had an apparant link to failures of…

Can I assume you tried a different internal drive?

Hello all,  I recently recapped an SE/30 motherboard. I cleaned the board with a toothbrush and soap and hot water, let it dry for a week or more and then replaced the capacitors.…

On the 3400c's lithium battery board, the black wire is the neg lead; red is the pos; the two white wires connect to tabs between the 2nd and 3rd and 3rd and 4th (I think) cells - …

change the rest,   i personally do not like sockets.  if you do the ram right once its done, no need for sockets. they cause more issue then good.

ok. But it isnt going to help i dont think.... Also when I do figure this out, i will have to reprogram the EEPROM to reset the cell counter so it doesnt think its still "dead"

My 2400C battery was gutted by a previous owner, with no hide and a hair of a picture or diagram anywhere on where the wires go.  So, this might be a long shot, but does anyone ha…

Substituting an ATX supply for the MDD supply is very doable, but there are two issues. First, physical fit.  The MDD supply is long and low, not boxy.   With some hunting you can…

I think its a coined name/brand. But honestly it doesnt matter as long as the reflective die is silver, as it reflects full spectrum without much color distortion, Now granted the …

Probably both? The silver ones are probably most similar to commercially-made CDs, which is another (maybe somewhat simplistic) reason why they work with older players and drives.…

Congrats on the fix.

Guess this one may face a CRT to LCD transplant at some point in the future. It looks like it was upgraded quite a bit, so I don't want to lose that. I just don't like fidgeting wi…

And we have one more clean, perfectly functional Color Classic back in the world again after a solid night's work... This is the same machine that looked like it was pulled from a …

Yep definitely seems like it's not doing it's thang... from memory I can't ever recall hearing the degaussing "thunk" when powering this CC on, yet all my 5xx-series and the other …

here is some update. i just got smile mac with nomal bong sound. i had replaced the 10 ram and 1 74s244. but actually 74s244 was not problem. the problem was just ram only. …
