    Macintosh SE with constant Address errors.

    Thanks a lot for your diagnosis, I will look further into this and come back if I have anything else to ask!

    Macintosh SE with constant Address errors.

    Damn, I suppose that was what I was expecting though... Probably not a software problem though as it sometimes gets the same errors even before beginning to read the disk.

    Macintosh SE with constant Address errors.

    Hello! I recently restored a Macintosh SE to "working" condition (Can read disks and get into the OS from a Boot-disk) but I am having constant bomb errors with Address error. As soon as you try any action you get either a Bomb with Address error if in the OS or the 0000000F 00000002 if in the...

    Extracting SIT files on Macintosh Classic

    I might have phrased something wrong, I use 1.44Mb disks from my W10 PC with the transfer program on the 7.1 Tidbits disk (I think the program is called Apple File Transfer) on my macintosh

    Extracting SIT files on Macintosh Classic

    Hello again! I have a Macintosh Classic with system 7.1 and 4mb ram and I am trying to get some programs onto it. I have got Apple File Transfer working so I can get programs from my PC to the Mac, but I cannot extract many of the files I download. I have got Stuffit expander 4.0.1 on the mac...

    Can you use "any" SIMM ram.

    Hello! I have recently got a dead Macintosh Classic working and am looking for things to make it run better. I have updated to System 7.1, but many of the programs I use need more ram than available (2MB). I have been looking around on eBay for 30 pin 1MB sticks of SIMM ram, but there are just...

    Macintosh Classic (one) with no power.

    I got the Macintosh running! I replaced 2 diodes and 1 zener diode (from one of bibilit's posts) and recapped the board, but the thing that really got the computer working was replacing the TDA4605! It could have been a bit more beautifully done, and it could definitely have been done faster...

    Macintosh Classic (one) with no power.

    Yup, I've read one of your old posts and I have the exact same symptoms! Will change those diodes, and change the capacitors as well.

    Macintosh Classic (one) with no power.

    Macintosh Classic Analog Board This is how the analog board looks when taken out of the computer. I see no big problems, no bulging capacitors or things of the sort. The only thing I notice is the brown sticky-looking gunk that is around almost all solder holes, can that have anything to do...

    Macintosh Classic (one) with no power.

    Thank you! I will look into other solutions then.

    Macintosh Classic (one) with no power.

    So using the analog from an other Macintosh is a big no-no then?

    Macintosh Classic (one) with no power.

    I live in Sweden, and I've seen several people asking for people to help them do it but never getting an answer.

    Macintosh Classic (one) with no power.

    Alright, I will check it out. Since I don't know too much about these things (or high-voltage electrics in the first place) do you think it would even be a good idea to try? There are no recapping services in my country as far as I know.

    Macintosh Classic (one) with no power.

    Hello! I have a Macintosh Classic with an analog board that (I think) doesn't output any power. When trying to turn it on, no sound, no picture, only nothing. I've tried measuring current through the molex connector with no success. There is also no visible leakage or damage at all. Therefore I...
