When you say refusing to boot. Do you mean ?/folder on boot. Or something like it powers on when power is pressed, fans spin, but no tone and no video? (That’s what I’m experiencing) or something else?
Thanks for the reply! This is about as close of a photo as I could get, looks like a 101 on the resistor not sure on the cap if there's anything at all.
But if I remove my warranty sticker, will apple still repair the machine? I'm sure there must be some AppleCare left on it :P
Hey there, I have the same board in my server machine, I'm doing a cap replacement on it as well. What were the issues your machine was having leading you to replace the caps? Have they been resolved since? I also have 1 more issue I'm hoping you can help me with (as posted here...
Hey Everyone,
I was given a PowerMac G3 Server, and it was working, then it just stopped. This is totally my fault and I've been kicking myself. When I was given it, I was told the battery was removed, so I took it, put it on my desk and it powered up just fine, about a hour later it no longer...
Hmm, I wonder if boosting the VRAM would help. Worth a shot I suppose. Not sure what's in the machine now, I know it maxes out at 1MB, the Performa 575 came with that standard, but the LC 575 could have shipped with 512k or 1MB. I'll have to see what's in mine. I'm at work now, but all I have on...
That’s correct. I have it on Steam and Gog and own the original cds complete in their boxes for each game in the series for both Mac and pc, can also load it up in scummvm as well as use the collectors installers from sierrahelp.com. I also have a cameo in the reloaded game from kick starter...
No dice, tried 7.1, 7.5.3, 7.6.1 and all the same performance. It just might not be meant to be :(. I'll keep trying things that probably won't matter but never know, recap, the FPU CPU, retrobriting the case, each new change another chance to retry while losing my sanity piece by piece until...
Thanks, I'll try that. It does need the CD, forgot to mention I'm loading the CD ISO off of an external bluescsi device. If those all fail (and I think the 7.5.5 will be the solution) then I'll try again with the FPU 68040 (when I find one). I'll keep everyone posted, won't be able to try until...
I'm on 8.1, I did manually assign more RAM to the program and have Virtual memory on. I'll try a lower OS like Forrest also suggested, from what I seen online, the game works on 7.1-9.2.2
Hey Everyone,
I just got a color classic, and I was able to get it up and running perfectly. I replaced the logic board with one from a LC/Performa 575 machine that had 20MB of RAM. I also did the VGA mod, installed a ZuluSCSI, cleaned and lubed the floppy drive, and installed a fresh install of...
Hi Everyone,
I just got a Macintosh Color classic from a member on this site, I recapped the analog board (the logic board was already recapped) replaced the drive with a ZuluScsi drive, and maxed out the ram at a whopping 10MB! I also have a math coprocessor on the way. I have my eye out for a...
That's a good point. I figured since it powered on before, maybe it'll power on just the same with the new caps. so I put it back in and powered it on, and magic smoke... boooo.. I looked closely everywhere on the logic and analog board, but couldn't see where it came from. So I'll be diving...
Hey Everyone,
I recently got a color classic off Facebook a few days ago. It has signs of life but didn’t work as it should when powered on (no video and static or garbled chime) I ordered a cap kit for the logic board and analog board and figured I’d start there. As I was recalling the analog...
I chickened out with the pliers and removing those plastic clips. Wonder how good the original thermal paste still is at cooling. Could you send me a example of the 3rd party coolers? I'm not sure what I should be searching for.
Thanks!
It's just plastic pegs. I probably could squeeze with some needle noise pliers and push them out, but I'm curious if there's a safer way. I'd hate to crush the pegs and not be able to reuse them and have no pressure of the heatsink against the GPU
