Makes me sad to look at my Classic 2.

Printers suck. I feel like blowtorching mine.

Bits of brittle plastic dropped out of it too. Click to expand... If these pieces are a brownish colour, then it's most likely the bonding agent around the CRT rings flaking of…

The plastics around the speaker assemblies are brittle. When you move my iMac G3 Around, you here bits and pieces shaking...

I finally got around to tearing down the old Macintosh 512k to see what the problem is. Visually the electronics appeared fine, so it looks like I need your help, 68kMLA. It has t…

I know what caps look like. there are none on the top of the mobo. Click to expand... :lol: You obviously don't know what they look like. I can see them on your photos quite …

G'day Mars, Yeah, it won't power on at all and gives off a warm plastic smell, so you're probably right as to the reason for it's deadness. Bits of brittle plastic dropped out of…

Check the speaker connections/try swapping the speaker units around. If there is no change, everything might be due for a cap replacement. trag sells complete IIci kits though.

The Bernoulii wasn't really all that rare and was actually a slightly better technology than Syquest's. Click to expand... Yeah - I've got the 2nd edition of Macs for Dummies, …

I know what caps look like. there are none on the top of the mobo. It looks like the 68030 chip is on the bottom too.

Nah, the caps are on the top, like the small "can" like thingies you see on the motherboard. I believe every Mac has caps, but the SE/30/Classic II/Classic/SE/IIci/II/IIx/IIfx/LC …

Aah. I'm assuming the caps are on the bottom of the mobo? Also, what model(s) dont have caps? And the caps appear to be fine. No squeaking noises here!

...And (finally) Pics!

No, the pizza box series does definitely have caps, and when you hear a squeaking sound, it's likely that they are going. I doubt yours has that problem since it would have bee…

When I get an old Mac that still has the data I always poke around to see what's there personal files I could care less about though. For example, my Performa had Photoshop and Pag…

Oops! My uploads hung and only the first couple of photos were uploaded. Forgive my ignorince here, but IIRC, aren't the "pizza box" macs one of the few without capiciters?

hot air, quickchip and solder paste is all abit overkill for some capacitors, I replace them all the time with a standard iron and a gentle hand, but whatever floats your boat, lea…

Alright, piccies: For some reason 3 of 5 of them came out super grainy. And that's 2 megapixels on my phone. My Quicktake 150 takes better pics. Should have used that instead. Oh…

I think we should keep the conquests to just 68K and early PPC macs and related gear. Do you realy want me to post all the offtopic stuff I grab (I could flood this forum easy)? …

Hey, it wasn't my decision. :-/ I was just trying to say that THE RULES might judge this as not following the conquest rules. I'm not the 68kmla deputy. I don't want you to tak…

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=10204 As per this announcement, and the Apple KB article, you're fine. But honestly? This is the type of attitude that caused people to put their libe…
