It originally had a 68030/16 so any 68030 should work when installed.

Memory slot tabs are broken and RAM is held in place with little bit of dough (i think) I will try to remove ALL ram one pair to see if the helps and will add CPU directly to boar…

What is that crud by the RAM (dust or did somebody break off the retaining tabs and glue the RAM in)? Also looks like you might have RAM that isn't matched in one bank. Try remov…

No idea how to check capacitors Click to expand... look for goop around metal cans

Can you take a decent picture of the motherboard with cards removed?

ROMM SIMM installed. Power switch in the back (and ones on the side) all click. No idea how to check capacitors

I guess you could have missed the PM pop-up window if you had a pop-up blocker enabled... it tends to get blocked by them. However, the search box has always been there [)] ]'&amp…

For the life of me I can't rememeber these feautures before! Well, whatever, hahahah

Can't see why not. It's just a video output card, so it should mount with the appropriate drivers. Cardbus is Cardbus.

Does it contain a stock SE motherboard Click to expand... No. The Dynamac went down that path, apparently, and used my favourite retro display tech - electroluminescent. http…

I've tried BatteryReset and it made no difference. I'll concede that the battery is probably bad. The strange thing, though, is that it will charge to four lights and be usable in …

Nope, it's been like that for a while now.

Nah someone else found it a while ago and I remebered the site which was myoldmac.net, I remebered because it made quite an impact on me as a such an awesome mod as well. :approv…

Remove the PRAM battery if it is dead, just causes problems. Sounds like you either messed up a cable or something if those buttons do not work, not a common problem.

I continue to be amazed at how quickly people can find this stuff!

If you're looking to use a 500 series without a monitor, you may also want to consider the 580, which uses IDE drives instead of the less common, pricier SCSI. The monitor on the 5…

1. sounds like the battery itself is faulty. Have you tried Battery Reset? 2. sound like the backup battery is long past dead. 3. no idea, but I have never heard of this problem …

...but many of those were green or amber. Click to expand... THAT would be cool to have a green CRT in a compact Mac. Does anyone have pictures to show of this being done?

So do you have to get them from a broken SE or is there some other viable source? Click to expand... The best source is another compact. Luckily CRTs of all compacts are electr…
