I would check the cable first

Fair enough, I ended up wiring it up and it seems to work fine, I am just waiting on a SCSI2SD now so I can run battery amnesia

Just wondering if this setup is safe to use, I am able to source a pack and fuse like this easily and would prefer to use this setup if possible

Unfortunate, I'll have a look through my parts bin and see if I can find another board

Sorry to hijack this thread but does anyone know the specs of the two transformers near the power jack, I need to replace the one closest to the power jack

ill ask them for a price on a duo battery and may i send one to be repacked

I’ve done the main board caps on 3 duos and each have been in various states of electrolyte damage, one had slight corrosion and others had completely eroded pads, glad you replaced these caps.

I may be able to provide you with some more information regarding the hard drive bay and modem situation within the Duo’s, i can send you the blank card that plugs into the modem connector when there is no modem present, i can take general measurements of whatever you need as well

I do, ill have a go with it tonight and see if that helps, thanks!

I picked up a 210 at a thrift store recently and i wad delighted that it worked perfectly, however as i was using it the entire screen froze, after leaving it for a few minutes with no response i restarted the machine using the keyboard, after which i got a happy mac followed by the screen...

I am trying to figure out what these coils are, surely we could measure certain metrics of them and find a match for them 

Is the 270c considered rare?, I swear I have seen more 270s  than any other duo, but I guess all duos are rare anyway 

You would be surprised, the very first Mac I ever posted about was a Classic with severe battery acid/rust that looked very similar to that above, i removed the rist with vinegar and painted the frame, still plenty of good metal under the rust

Thanks!, I’ll try it out tonight!

Definitely! it would be nice to have a video resource for recapping, I usually pick the smallest cap with the correct values when working with PowerBooks, and I make sure to clean and flux the board before applying the new caps, it works every time for me
