Ok, so, I'd like to bring this subject back up again. So far now, my Macintosh Plus, SE, Macintosh II, and now my Macintosh IIx are affected. What's happening is that one day these macs just start refusing to boot from an external SCSI HD or CD-ROM. Re-capping the logicboard does not help with...
Hello again. My 3rd problem of the week so far lol. Now my Powerbook 180c will not boot from any external SCSI device. Whenever I hook a SCSI cable up to it(I have 3 of them), it wants to boot instantly into SCSI disk mode. Is there a way around this so I can reload the OS? I don't remember...
I have been having odd scsi behavior on all of my older compact macs from the late 80's. My Macintosh Plus's refuse to boot from any external SCSI hard drives, even one that I had loaded specially for my Mac Plus and was working many years ago before it was put in storage. I can put the HD on my...
Yes I have reset the PRAM as well. The clock still does not tick forward. I'm guessing bad RTC chip? Network time is nice and all, but were talking about a standalone SE/30. No internet access. Thanks.
I've seen a few hits on google with different machines where the RTC doesnt work anymore, but nothing about the SE/30. My SE/30 boots up and runs, but the time will not advance on the clock. I've replaced the PRAM battery, what could it be? Thanks
Lol, sorry guys, my other phones mic was trashed. This phones mic works better, but it's video quality is very poor. This is the chirping sound. Also, yes I have re-capped the logicboard and analog board, but also have tried another logicboard and it does the exact same thing. One of the only...
Hey there. I've got a Color Classic that no longer wants to turn on. When the switch is flicked, you can here it it energize or whatever you want to call it, then when you press the on button on the keyboard, it tries to turn on, then makes a chirping noise and shuts off. I've re-capped most of...
Ran into an issue where my power adapter for my Powerbook 540c was outputting 16v on one pin, but only 2.xv on the other pin so my 540c would no longer start up. Took the PA apart(it's epoxied together) and discovered 6 capacitors. 2x 330uf - 25v, 2x 100uf 200v, and 2x 100uf 25v. The part...
Got a Color Classic logic board here that has a bad thru hole connection. Looks like someone did a nasty job at trying to clock chip it (can't be done this easily on a CC) and reamed one of the holes out. Does anyone know where the 4 pins at G1 go to? Thanks!
I did. Instead of messing around with trying to find where the connections went, I scrapped off the enamel covering the traces going to the pads and soldered the new SMD caps to the traces with a wire. The board works now, but this sadly did not fix my SCSI issue.
