  • After one year of being dead due to a bad analog board and putting a good working replacement analog board and a good PSU my 800k Macintosh SE is alive once again

    Gave my Mac SE SuperDrive a nice BlueSCSI upgrade and so far it's fantastic and I'm loving it so far

    The original 40mb Quantum ProDrive still works and thankfully I have backed it up alongside with that 160mb Conner drive that stopped working sadly

    Also I went to check if my 800k Mac SE still had the battery on it's logic board and thankfully the old owner did remove it

    I will have to get the Mac fixed since it no longer turns on (only makes weird unhappy noises no chime at all)
    I'm suspecting the analog board is faulty since smoke came out of it when it was still running back in mid- September of 2023

    Finally debombed my Mac SE SuperDrive and I'm suprised that the Maxell battery didn't leak or explode inside of it

    I installed my MacBatt CR2032 adapter with a brand new and fresh 2032 battery and it's running well
