There's a product called Chip Quik which is supposed to make this type of work easier. You paint it onto the joints you want to desolder and it lowers the melting point of the sol…

Friendly reminder it's ADB

The older LCs used more powerful supplies than the newer ones. If you're restoring an original LC, I would *guess* that it's best to put in the more powerful version.

Did you know you can upgrade the CPU to a full Core Duo if you wish?

phreakout - thanks for your reply. based on the article i mentioned earlier (re: mac II in same situation) i was thinking it could be F1 or F2. I have located these on the logic …

The place to look for paint and dye hints is over at the Applefritter forums. Good results have been had with automotive vinyl dye, which soaks into the surface, and with Krylon F…

It appears that you took the PSU voltages while the PSU was disconnected from everything else? If so, I strongly suggest you put it all back together and take voltages from the fl…

Nice score! The PB150's are cool machines. I hope your 4GB drive will work for you.

Tom you've done a great job and Admin or no we will still look to you as such. May your current endeavors be favorable ones.

OK, this is real weirdness, JDW. I just reattached the power supply unit back up to the analog board and unplugged everything from the board except the power supply. I turned it …

Good to hear that its got a RAM upgrade - the main thing like I said, is that it has the right angle adaptor, which allows you to use Duo RAM. That 4GB hard drive *should* work - I…

If you hadn't mentioned that your fan wasn't spinning, I would have suggested you swap out the logic board. But if the fan isn't spinning and now that you have confirmed all is we…

Thanks. That did it. I can connect to the server from the Mac, and transfer files. Now to see if I can get macipgw to compile... Interestingly enough, the response from Asante (w…

It's got 8MB RAM but the hard drive, which is a 250MB, has problems. It will "freeze up" when in use (I've tried twice to install 7.6 on it--yes, I finally have a use for the 7.6 C…

Hmmm... I have plenty of keychains... er... memory laying around. Maybe my LC III could use some of that extra "memory" :lol:

Ahh, you might want to check the date of that article, because...well...obviously it doesn't.

Not bad. I hope for your sake the RAM has been upgraded - even though they use Duo RAM (which if you can find a Duo, is easy enough to find), they require a special right angle …

Okay. I've checked the AC power cord and I'm getting power from the wall. About 120.2VAC. So I will rule that part out. I've went ahead and pulled the power supply unit and the…

Ladies and Gentleman: For those in need of recapping your SE/30 logic boards due to Simasimac symptoms, I can still commit myself to doing the work. Unfortunately, due to a sudde…

Ortencia, You'll need to open up the case and remove the "mobo", aka Logic Board in Apple Computer terms. This is the circuit board on the very bottom of the SE/30. Once the log…

Thanks for replying back about that. I figured as much. But no doubt someone out there has stock of them. I cannot imagine that NASA and the US Military would have snapped them …

The PDS slot for the IIci and the LC PDS slot are two completely different interfaces, unfortunately. The Presto was also only made for the LC series.

The best SSD for the SE/30 is a drive that is made in the stock form factor (3.5") and already has a 50-pin SCSI connector. Indeed, one probably couldn't do much better than this:…

Thanks! No, actually just trying to save them from being scrapped. Unfortunately you can't save them all and I'm getting run out of my house!

If you can't find a schematic following the traces and using a continuity tester should reveal the location of the fuse.
