    Replacement Power Supply in Quadra 605

    I took inspiration from this thread and designed a similar mounting plate for the RPT-60A in the Dyna Comp DCF 353 PSU shell. https://www.printables.com/model/776866-apple-lc-dyna-comp-lc-353-psu-meanwell-rpt-60a-mou

    G3 400MHz Slot Loading iMac bizarre audio volume issue

    I decided to revisit this again. I have done some further testing: The same problem occurs under OS 8.6 However, under OS X (I tested 10.4) the audio volume controls are normal. I can adjust the volume from barely audible to blasting. Yet under OS9 and 8.6 I can not. Anyone else have any...

    Quadra 700 powers on, but no chime or video

    I wish I had access to a thermal camera like a Flir. That would make identifying the hot/shorted component a lot easier.

    Quadra 700 powers on, but no chime or video

    Looks like the 5v rail is shorted to ground somewhere. I can buzz out continuity from the motherboard power connector between ground any of the 3 5v pins. So I'm guessing a component somewhere on the board connected to 5v is toast. Couple be a cap or an IC of some kind. Has anyone seen this...

    Quadra 700 powers on, but no chime or video

    Hola folks! I recently received a new to me Quadra 700. It was sold as not booting. While it does power on (power led is on), there is no chime (I do hear a click/pop from the speaker) and no video. While the scsi drive spins up, it doesn't boot from it as far as I can tell. Motherboard is...

    Quadra 700 ONLY boots with PPC card installed

    Have you been able to resolve this? I have a new to me Quadra 700 behaving the exact same way.

    G3 400MHz Slot Loading iMac bizarre audio volume issue

    No. That's the weird thing. It just gets louder and louder while staying clean and undistorted. You could fill a nice size room with audio from this thing. I just wish there was a couple notches of lower audio volume. I keep it on the lowest notch before Mute and it's still louder than I would...

    G3 400MHz Slot Loading iMac bizarre audio volume issue

    Hola everyone! I picked up a nice condition Graphite slot loading G3 iMac last week and so far everything has been really great with it. Replaced the dead IDE harddrive with a StarTech IDE2SATA adapter and 120GB SSD. Replaced the PRAM battery while in there. Zero leakage of the batteries or...

    My first Macintosh - The Performa 6116CD

    Hola guys! I just posted up a video detailing my first Mac that I bought back in '96. Thought it might be of interest to some of you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ9edd-bod8

    Manual inject floppy drive woes

    Yeah, I noticed there were a few on the backside of the drive. They don't appear to be looking, but I'll measure them and see if they are the problem.

    Manual inject floppy drive woes

    So I picked up a Performa 475 recently and the floppy drive is having issues. Any disk I put in it it reports as need initialized. Even known, good working disks. And of course attempting to format these disks failed. I have removed the cover from the drive and cleaned the heads. No change in...

    What are the correct monitors for various LC and Performa models?

    I would like this kind of info too! I’m waiting to receive a Performa 475 and would like to find the correct matching monitor.
