I've had an LC II board setting around for quite some time with a few pads pulled on it. It was really nasty but I some how managed to get it to start up after a really ugly recap.
Had to bridge C21 across, turn C15 and C22 a little sideways.... I know the image is a bit blurry, but you get...
So I took a long break from my collection and never got around to fixing this issue.
I have a PowerBook 160 that doesn't seem to keep its contrast steady. Messing around with the slider will fix it, but it constantly gets brighter, then dim.
I got this Color Classic about a year or so ago. It would start up fine but it had this weird issue with the screen being one color until it warmed up a little. I decided to pull it out today and fire it up to see what would happen. I recapped the motherboard last year also.
Here is what I...
So I am finally back to working on my 475, the one I posted about back in December. Still the same death chime issue. I decided to hunt down the data sheet for the on board ram, which is Samsung brand. It was actually easy to find. Maybe I can hunt down this issue soon.
Well I have a Performa 475 here, got this one from jt. First time I flipped the switch I get a somewhat slow death chime. If I turn it off an on quick I get a happy chime and then a quicker death chime. Missing vram so I grabbed the stick from my LC to throw in there. I think a recap and a...
Well I stopped by Goodwill today and picked up a nice rolling office chair for 8 bucks. But I spotted one vintage apple product... A lonely cable all by itself. Not sure what it was used for, clearly not adb but probably for printer or modem. All I know is the connectors have a wonderful Apple...
OK so my VGA adapter arrived today. The generic one with the switches. Well I have a Acer wide screen LCD that I want to use with the Macintosh IIci. I would like to know what to switch on and off on the adapter. I set it for VGA with 640x480 and got no signal.
Well I decided to fire up my Plus today to test a hard drive that I had. This plus was working about a week ago and from what I remember I thought the CRT was under adjusted to where there was a pretty good size black border (i think). When I turned it on the screen was very bright and had some...
Well I just got done recapping my second SE/30 which was working just had quiet sound... Turned it on
Happy Chime
Still black screen
Death Chimeeeeeee (it was very long)
Flash of a Horizontal line
I turned it off then turned it back on. Nothing just dead...
Seems I killed this one, I done...
My second Mac is coming today... A Powerbook 160! Its coming with the User Manual, battery, charger, and some other cable I'm not sure about. I don't remember what size hard drive is in it (hoping for 120mb). It seemed pretty clean from what I could tell. No cracks at all. Ill get some pictures...
Just about a month ago I purchased a Macintosh SE on eBay for 60 bucks shipped, mouse and keyboard included. Its in great condition besides a small crack in the top right corner of the case (which must have happened in shipping as it wasn't in the pictures on eBay). I powered it on as the seller...
