THANKS a lot friends !!! @Phipli @GRudolf94
I have restored my two firewire ports!
You were right, by changing the faulty firewire module with a "new" one everything works perfectly now! :)
The PowerMac G3 B&W is a great machine! excellent performance and what's more, all tantalum capacitors are...
I checked everything I could check dear friends, but clearly my poor knowledge of electronics doesn't allow me to bypass my problem.
I really don't know what to do!
I just have to wait to find a "new" motherboard to replace my faulty one...
Hi everyone!
I'm asking for help for my "new" blue and white PowerMac G3 400 Mhz that I'm refurbishing.
Everything seemed to work and I was so happy! but I realized during the final test that the firewire ports don't work...
I tried with both OS 9 and OS X... nothing.
If I connect an external...
Hi dear friends!
I'm sorry for my silence but during this period work doesn't leave me free time to dedicate to repairs... anyway I disassembled the eMate and nothing... nothing seems out of place on the motherboard, no burnt components. I checked the tracks of the power supply connector with...
dear CTB, thanks a lot for your encouragement! It's always good to feel encouraged!
You are typing to the right person, I know well what "persevere" means in these cases and with electronics. Consider that I spent almost a month behind a Mac Classic where I first performed a complete recap...
Thank you all for all the precious tips!
I've tried the tip suggested by CTB "Plug in the AC adapter, wait about 30 sec, hold down the power key, press the little reset button...".
Nothing changed...
In the next few days, as soon as I have some time, I will have to disassemble the eMate and...
Thanks a lot for your reply CTB! yes, I've checked sound and contrast sliders.
My eMate don't show any sign of life... no sound, anything on LCD, no green/orange power light...
Hi dear friends!
I recovered a Newton eMate 300 with its original power supply through a friend of mine. It's fantastic!!!
I can define the cosmetic condition as being like new!
But... connected to electricity it shows no sign of life... nothing... not even its green LED lights up.
I can tell...
Hello friends,
I have bought a LCD Studio Display with a backlighting problem. The screen is backlit well only half, only the bottom half of the screen.
The power light display a series of short flashes: a sequence of two short flashes and a long flash.
Apparently it is a known problem of the...
Hello friends !
a dear friend of mine gave me this adapter but without floppy drivers.
Do any of you have the drivers for this scsi-ethernet adapter to work?
You would really make me happy!
I thank you all in advance.
Hi dear friends!
after many attempts, anger, desperation and replacement of electronic components, my Classic is back to life!!!
I replaced the 2 KOHM 1W “RF2” resistor that feeds the TEA2037 (miraculous suggestion from friend @TheMightyMadman) and then I gave the whole analog board a new good...
Thanks a lot @TheMightyMadman !! I’ll change the resistor and let you know!!
@dochilli Thanks for your important suggestion!
Tha strange thing is that my Classic was starting with chime with the “economical” caps and the voltages adjusted by me was 5.00 V and 12.19 V.
Now with the high quality...
Thanks @TheMightyMadman !!! your suggestion of this resistor (RF2) is really PRECIOUS! please, can you indicate also the tolerance of RF2?
From my little electronic experience I know that for some electronic circuits (precisely on some portions) it is a very important value.
Beyond the question...
