Recapped 660 green tint to screen

[imactheknife]

One of my 660’s has a green tint, works fine otherwise. Any ideas??

First thing is to check the monitor cable, just in case that is all it is

 

[imactheknife]

yeah, did that. I was just using monitor with another machine. Will try again just in case

Same with a different monitor?

Try cleaning the video port on the 660 with contact cleaner.

Washed board again.. working perfectly.. probably just the video out port, but any residual stuff left on board is for sure gone now

Nice one. You seem to be making good progress with your collection now, gradually getting each one working must be satisfying.

yes, for sure! It is very satisfying knowing that these may run for any more years now... My one se/30 still has the zebra lines for 10 to 12 seconds before she chimes and boots normal. Only one that have not figured out. Was it you that had the Centris / quadra 650 with dead scsi? I can't remember..

I had a 650 board where external SCSI would not work but internal did, I couldn't figure it out, that now belongs to someone else.

There is only one SCSI controller chip on the 650, start with buzzing traces from there back to the internal SCSI port and external SCSI port.
