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...
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...
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...
Hi everyone,
I just picked up a Apple Power Mac G4 (FW 800) with a dead PSU for parts for $50 on facebook, came with a 23" Apple Cinema HD display as well, was worth the drive I think. I grabbed it for parts for my G4 Mirror Drive Door 2003. It had the Apple nVidia GeForce4 TI4600 128MB video...
Hey everyone,
I just picked up a Macintosh 512k with its original power cable, keyboard, mouse for $100. I think it was a good deal. It was sold as-is/repair. When I power it on, I get no video or tone. I do get a rapid high pitch chirping. I already ordered a full capacitor kit for the logic...
Hey Everyone.
I recently got a Macintosh Classic ( Click here for more info and photos ) that I took apart, and restored (cleaned up, new caps, repaired drive (for now, soon will be a Blue SCSI once the parts arrive from Mouser) cleaned and re-lubed floppy drive, etc. Has the 4MB of RAM...
I just picked this up, came with an Apple Mouse, no keyboard, no power cable. I hadn't ever had a Macintosh Classic before. (I had a 128k Macintosh that worked well (Floppy drive was fussy))
I've been a Apple Certified Tech since 2003 (sooo close to 20 years) and I'm always recapping and...
