but then it goes away and the system boots normally?

I thought that was before the chime, but thats a fair point I have other ram I can try. although it also gets stuck the same on my rominator which I believe skips the ram check.

is it just doing that when you hot restart it? does it boot normally after?

Yeah, but it does at least do stuff and draw the screen properly and clearly. ordered some new chips to replace those guys suggested. ill report back when i get them in and get around to swapping them.

Isn't that just junk in the vram before it gets initialized? you normally don't see it when you just turn on the machine because the display isn't warmed up enough yet to make a picture.

Shrunk the image, cursor definately not hiding. I have also noticed that if i press the debug button i get dumped to a sad mac with 0000000F 0000000D. Ill take a look at UF8 and the LS166 next to it next.

I guess that an interesting point. I’ll try adjusting down the screen width to see if it’s just hiding. I swapped with a rominator ii and it was the same. Happy chime and then this. No hdd or fdd connected.

No difference with replacement rom. Just a static screen. I did notice two clicks after the chime. Just like small speaker pops. I beeped out all the rom pins to the pds slot. But I’m going to check the cpu pins too to make sure.

No static, nice solid screen. I’ll try swapping in a rominator II from a different machine and report back.

I have an se/30 that will chime show a gray screen but no mouse cursor. it has been recapped, and I checked all connections from the ADB chip and they are good. Any idea of where I should look next? Is there a good sequence list somewhere of the order it tries to check things during boot? Also...

Does anyone have a ez135 drive they can push the door open and take a picture of the heads? I recently bought one in unknown condition but looking inside it looks like mine only has a bottom head still, I'm not sure what happened to the top one but I cant see it in there. I'd appreciate any help.

Sounds good, just wanted to make sure there wasn't some secret way to get the disk out. its burned so i don't care if i damage it. Anyone know if the late model iMacs will boot off a firewire dvd drive?

Any tips on extracting a cd from a slot load iMac? It seems to not be able to grip the disk to eject it. or read it for that matter... But for now ill settle for not having the disk in there.

that is sadly the fate of every one of those rubberized coatings that were so popular on electronics.

Looking to add a Newton to my collection. What are the must have accessories for using this with a mac, or just in general? Also which model should I even be looking in to? Are there any traps that are just totally not worth it?

Single strands off of a piece of stranded wire. Those are all pretty minor, you could probably get away with some careful solder bridging. Also traces not threads.

does anyone have a picture of the cables that are supposed to go with also by chance? the adb and headphone / mic cables.

Perfect! thanks @Daniël. I actually got pretty close on my own.

im pretty close. I just want to double check some details. i found an ok picture online but id still like a close up if anyone is able. ill post my results when im done tweaking.

Can someone post some decent pictures of the button door on a 17" multiple scan? mine is missing one, and I can get close guesstimating what it looked like id like some nice pictures to make as close a replacement as I can. You don't need to take the door off I just want to see what it looks...
