    PSU Schematics

    Sorry I don't know of any schematics, but I do have a couple of capacitor lists here: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/iici-power-supply-recap-and-component-identification.41364/post-448397 The lists are for the following ASTEC models: AA15830 and AA15831

    Mystery IIsi that chimes, but has no video, and won't boot!

    Long shot suggestions here - did you: - install a battery? I forget which Macs need them to boot. - reset the PRAM?

    IIci power supply recap and component identification

    Happy I could help, and it's good yours worked! Unfortunately for me, only one my two power supplies worked after the recaps. The working one was the AA15831 model, which is obviously not the same one you have. I have the non-working one stored away... maybe someday I will learn enough about...

    Bench testing AA15830 from IIcx

    I have some old images from a couple of different angles. It looks like brown, black, black, gold. But I'm not totally sure on the blacks. They could be blue. I'll see if I can get a better view tomorrow.

    Bench testing AA15830 from IIcx

    I searched the interwebs for another image of R325, but all were blurry so I took apart my PSU. I took another image and it looks red here; it also looks red when looking at the resistor with my eyes.

    Bench testing AA15830 from IIcx

    Now you have me second guessing myself... I think we need confirmation from someone else. Unfortunately my PSU is not in a position for me to look directly.

    Bench testing AA15830 from IIcx

    The bands are Red, Green, Yellow, and Gold. I believe that to be 250k +/- 5%

    Bench testing AA15830 from IIcx

    You need to put a load of about 0.75 A on the 5V rail. Otherwise the power supply may fail to output the correct voltages.

    IIci power supply recap and component identification

    From what I can tell these power supplies vary quite a bit in terms of components, even between power supplies that have the same model number. However, I think a capacitor list may still be useful to others. The following is for ASTEC AA15830 Cap # Description lead spacing length width...

    IIci power supply recap and component identification

    Thank you @Byrd for the great information! There doesn't appear to be any visual defects on the capacitors that I asked about, so I will take your advice and leave them alone. I do plan on replacing as many of the electrolytics and RIFAs as possible. Hopefully that brings these power supplies...

    IIci power supply recap and component identification

    I am recapping two different IIci power supplies, and am having trouble identifying some components. The first looks like a film capacitor. It is the rectangular shaped black component in the first photo with marking 2.0 uF 5%. In the second photo, there are many yellow rectangular components...

    LC Power Supply interchangeability?

    My Q605 has an Astec AA16251. The label states it is Apple part 699-0003.

    Mac IIsi PSU inductor value

    I happen to have mine open, as I'm recapping it as well. Here's a photo of the marking on the inductor. I don't know what it means, but it says "4R7".

    Cheap and simple ADB to USB converter

    Anyone know of a part number for the adb connector? I want to make sure I buy a connector that will fit the pcb.
