Did they even make 8MB 30pin SIMM's? That would have been an ungodly amount per stick back in the day. Not too mention very expensive. I once paid $300 for a 4MB stick.

The "leaking capacitors" problem afflicts many compacts. A standard troubleshooting step for these models is to open up the Mac and carefully inspect the logic board for telltale s…

I have what I need or I would have bid on it.

Yes it will work. You need to make sure you are using an Apple AV Cable, a generic one will not work. I have tried it with my graphite clam, and it just makes a distorted audio out…

I actually got sniped on that lot the last time it was up. xD

Sorry about that. :-x On .img files, you can use the Floppy Image program here.

That looks fantastic, I'll give it a whirl tomorrow. thanks!

that just means you didnt kill the internal power supply, logic on the other hand is a very fragile thing, you basically shunted 5 volts down a (less than) 3 volt data line and mos…

It is powering up. To a black screen. The floppy is getting power as well.

The trouble with that though is that I've already got a metric crapload of 8MB 72 pin SIMMs that I'll never use, and that I can't see of being much value to anyone else, either. N…

Dang, really sorry about that. D: Good thing they're not hard to find at all.

I got them today...they have 4 NEC 4218160-60 chips on them each. From what I can gather, I think they're 8 MB SIMMs. Great. I seem to be like a magnet for these things, it seems. …

I do own a CC, but it's currently in shambles; everything it displays lacks the color red... Click to expand... Had the same issue - resoldered the wires going to the yoke, and…

Is it mine? I wish it were I don't know why the seller never upgraded the resolution. He may have wanted to keep it stock, or never wanted to risk a soldering mishap. I do ow…

Not sure why you reflowed all 2,000+ joints. Click to expand... False hope and I needed something to take my mind off things for a few hours.

I had to turn 32 bit on for it to use the CD drive. It's working now.

Just to try helping, how many RAM sticks are there? The reason why the Macintosh IIcis might not be giving video is because you don't have matching sets installed. Find a set of 4…

It can kill it very easily if it causes the wrong voltage to end up in the wrong place, or something horrible like that. If the machine's not powering up at all, its more than just…

Damn. Is it possible to replace a dead component instead of the whole board? How can putting in the IDE Connector incorrectly fry the board?

Yes it will work. You need to make sure you are using an Apple AV Cable, a generic one will not work. I have tried it with my graphite clam, and it just makes a distorted audio out…

I think if you boot it up while connected to an external screen, it will work. Unfortunately, my clamshell's sound/video is completely fried so I can't verify it for sure.

The machine made a burning smell...unfortunately i'd say its toast.

I like the Mac Plus, it was the first Mac I owned, getting it in 1990.

heh a good reason to own a goodwill toaster oven, but yes last on the list

Im not Jim! Could it be the single fuse on the logic board? How dead is it?
