    Classic II

    I dark green on the pins of a few chips behind the serial ports, as well as blue/green on the chip directly next to the internal floppy port. Actually, I just looked at it, many random chips appear to have the corrosion. None on the on board RAM though.

    Classic II

    Well, after a through cleaning/drying to see if I can get it to boot temporarily it still does the same. I'm thinking even if I replace the capacitors that it will still be dead because of the corrosion on some chips. So... anyone have a spare Classic II logic board?

    I picked up a Classic II yesterday for $3 at a church rummage sale. Today I finally got the chance to power it on and check it out. Unfortunately I was greeted with this: No bong no resone from the KB/Mouse, and nothing but a cramped blank screen. So I opened it up and saw some capacitor...

    Try flipping the power on, waiting a few seconds, then quickly toggling it off then on. If the PRAM is dead, then this usually puts enough juice in the system for the computer to boot.

    Not a Mac...

    Tape adapters are easy to find, check walmart, target, etc. I just bought one about a month ago.

    Word for word clipping from a VW book I have from a mechanic in response to the question "Didn't an inordinate number of Beetles catch fire?" "The original clamps that hold the lines onto the fuel filter were not reusable. The filters were cheap enough-like .50- and you could find them on...

    i haz a volksbuggen!!!

    It's really people replacing the fuel filter and not replacing the clamps on it with new ones that apparently cause fires. They were one-time deals. My VW is fun to drive. Only a few more months till I'm legal to drive it though :p

    Your Beetle is 12V, so it shouldn't be too hard to rig something up to power it with a car charger, yes?

    The annual 68kMLA whip-round...

    Text ads wouldn't be that bad, as long as they were only on the bottom of the page, and didn't intrude. Maybe have an ad-free version of the site available to people who really don't want them for like $.50.
