    Macintosh Classic Sad Mac RAM expansion error

    Me too... Did you happen to find a solution to this? My Classic with an AMP 2-532955-4 RAM card gives me a 00000005 / 00010001 error when booting but is fine with a regular Apple RAM card or none. The Classic is recapped on both boards and has no other issues AFAICT.

    PowerBook 5300 Power/DC Board Recap

    PB 5300 fuse?

    Can anyone identify where the fuse(s) is on a 5300 logic board? I can't find an F or a PF on mine for the life of me. Are there any other abbreviations that are used for fuses?

    Powerbook 100 display issue

    I'm doing this exact repair & my L3 broke a leg as well while I was desoldering it. Appears to be pretty common. What should I replace it with? I'm shopping for 150uH's but what Maximum DC Current do I need? Mouser has up to 50 A.

    Duo display with pink lines

    I'm reviving a Duo 230. I've recapped it, replaced some bad diodes & the LT1171 voltage regulator (per a discussion in this forum that seems to have gotten lost in the crash last year). The display is fine because it works with another working Duo I have. It chimes, now that it's recapped &...

    Portable HD gasket removal

    I removed the gasket from my Portable Conner CP3045, as recommended. It wasn't gooey and came off pretty easily. The drive looks pretty clean. I haven't tested it yet. Waiting to recap the Portable first and don't have the adapter to try the drive on something else yet. What should I replace...
