Good to see another LC back up and going. The case looks to be in very good condition.

Great score, nice price too

Nice work. Looks good on your desk. I hated those mice, so uncomfortable. Give me a tear drop mouse any day of the week.

Never used one. Although I wouldn't mind a Genesis or MaxBoxx if it came my way. I am in the process of slimming down my collection, so adding new machines would be counter produ…

So I've got my 450MHz AGP Sawtooth running. However it is only recognizing 1GB of RAM. According to LEM and everymac.com it will accept 2GB. I have a 512MB and 3 256MB cards ins…

It's alive! I unplugged and replugged it one more time, hit both reset buttons in front, now it's at the "?" prompt - of course, there are no drives installed. Let's reinstall the …

The left side of the power supply is a little warm, and there is a very slight "electric" smell. Click to expand... Unless it's burning. I would take everything apart, then…

Well, I guess it's been plugged in an hour, maybe a little more. The only thing installed is the power supply and ram. Still nothing. The left side of the power supply is a little…

That Y-cable is either for the LC IIe card (probably so, since it's on the drive) or it's a Power Mac 6100 DOS cable. Click to expand... Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the h…

I will try disconnecting everything. How long should I leave it plugged in before I try to start it? Click to expand... Say an hour? The idea is to make sure the circuitry that…

I will try disconnecting everything. How long should I leave it plugged in before I try to start it?

Mods - if you consider this post misplaced in the Conquests forum, my apologies, and feel free to move it to the Lounge or Compacts. I've finally sourced an inexpensive LCD for co…

You can do that I guess, I would just solder in replacement batteries (the leads are fairly long so you will not heat up the battery much unless you are using a blowtorch. I think…

Is there a clicking noise? Any signs of capacitors leaking? Swap power supplies between units.

Have you left them for a while connected to the mains to power on? Have you tried the keyboard poweron button? Have you disconnected floppies and hard disks?

New battery was installed, still *nothing*

Start with the CMOS batteries. My IIx won't start if the batteries are dead.

I recently acquired 2 IIcxs. Both completely dead. Plug them in, press the botton, and absolutely *nothing* happens. I will search, but if anybody has some quick pointers on where …

Can I just snip the leads off near the battery, and leave them attached to the board so I can reuse them to solder to the battery holders? Click to expand... Sounds like a very…

Skylab FTW

It should handle audio work just fine I would think. Since you've already got 1Gb of RAM in it and a decent sized hard drive, I would definitely use it instead of an old Dell. As…

Oh yes! The Daystar Genesis is the Holy Grail of PPC Mac clones IMO. I'd likely kill for one of those... (OK, maybe just a few mosquitoes but nothing more... )

Thanks for all the advice. I think I'm gong to try replacing the batteries in the II and see if that does the trick. I know the IIx is a slightly better machine, but the II was m…

Back in the day, both the Mac II and Mac IIx machines were exceptionally reliable - in my experience, anyway. The only common problems were the PRAM batteries going flat (and then…

This one should have been relatively easy. I have to admit though, it took a few hours to make it work properly. I liberated this machine ages ago in a non-working state, but only …
