    Mac Classic II Random Hangs, Logic+Power board recapped

    I get random freezes and errors. Sometimes doesn't boot up properly. Some times have some single pixel vertical lines when it hangs. Seems to be able to make it occur by wiggling SCSI+Floppy ribbon cables or have some shock motions (like inserting a floppy or tapping on the case) Logic+Power...

    Mac Classic II logic board recap - lost 1 set of solder pads

    Replacing Classic II capacitors

    I've got low audio and boot issues. Cleaned the board and now boots fine. Of course low audio issue is still around and definitely bad caps. On the Classic II, there are a couple of capacitor in tight spots without too much room around it for a soldering iron tip. I've also read the traces tend...
