I did. Worse than before, now it won't even boot. and the capacitors were soldered upright do it did not even fit. Needless to say I was outraged and they asked to send it back for free repair. I'm starting to give up and sell it for parts...

update: i called the shop today, friday it should be ready. let’s see.

my guess is that they did not. probably left it aside. the irritating thing is that i did not just show up with it and boom, i emailed and called them days prior bringing it to them and explicitly asked if they were up to it. they accepted and then 1 month has passed with no news. once i’ll be...

not really. i called the shop few times and they said they need more time every time i call. i guess they needed to order capacitors etc. anyhow, i’m leaving this country for good on the 19th and so i have told them. tomorrow i’ll give them a call and get the motherboard back. i’ll have to find...

Hello, So whilst i’m waiting for my portable board I brought back to light my SE/30. I prepared a SCSI2SD with my quadra but when I pop it into my SE/30 it does not read it. Neither its old HDD. Apple HD setup doesn’t recognise it either. SCSI2SD blinks rapidly when plugged it, but it does not...

That's a good news! Sometimes it chimes normally and doesn't even play the death chime. Other times straight up death chime. So something is shorting. I gave up and brought it to a repair shop which was scared at first cause they thought they had to open it. I took the mobo out and took it on a...

I suspect shorting as well. Either that really bad recapping job that now we discovered needs to be redone and those traces. I kind of set the portable aside these days cause I was really busy with other stuff, today the battery came in so I thought of trying. I haven't tested the traces but I...

Hello all... Bad news. It does turn on. With stripes all over the place. Sometimes it bongs fine, but I cannot see anything. Other times it does bong death chime. Some other times nothing happens. Resetting power management sometimes clicks the speakers. But then nothing. What do you think )-...

the problem is that I cannot find any schematic and I'm becoming lunatic on this, but maybe it's OK and actually the motherboard is working. next week I shall receive the battery, let's hope!

that's my plan. I have some system 7 floppies around. still waiting for the battery.

I swear the more I look at it, the more I find things. The battery has not arrived yet (Belgium has not an official amazon, so I have to order from Germany and takes time). (I miss the old 68kmla clown Macintosh compact emoji cause that is how I fell right now) Like what is this? It is NOT...

The biggest giveaway is the botched motherboard. Those caps look horrible. The exterior of the machine is not great either, that is what made me really mad with the seller, but that's another story. I have bought a new battery (amazon is taking its time) and IPA, I'll clean what I can off...

I actually appreciate it, I like my username very much. (-: Have to say yours is pretty neat too, very crunchy indeed.

Thanks :-) the battery is on its way as well as new IPA. let's hope it will work! I'll update once tested hopefully with a booted Mac! already prepared a scsi2sd in the meanwhile..

I swear their trouble session in pamphlet are always bogus. Literally under almost every trouble: -Add more RAM (you don't say) -Switch off PPC Card Excuse me, my good sir, why then have I got this card for? They are basically saying put more RAM or pretend the PPC card doesn't exist baby...

Thank your for the manual. (-: I actually have the original box with the floppies manual etc, and the official apple one is not very helpful either. However what itches me is that basically they say "add more RAM" as a solution for everything. I'll try doing that then. Made me laugh a bit. In...

Hello (-: no worries, I appreciate every help that is given! The person who did this was surely not an expert. I am neither but I would rather have it done than this. Don't really mind the quality of the caps soldering, those can eventually be removed and recapped. it's their slipping the...

that sounds like a true pain in the arse, look at all those traces )-,: time to get the voltimeter out. I don't even have schematics for the portable. Let's hope they work..

I think this looks worrying..

Thank you! I'll follow your battery replacement. Wish me luck with the lil disaster-ed machine! Also it looks like who did this did something also to the through-board (or what it is called) caps, and that looks horrible as well. those are the spots with corrosion. I hope it will work. I need...
