    PowerMac G3 Server - Need help Identifying 2 components on the Logic Board 820-0991-B

    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.

As I was recalling the analog...

    Macintosh 512k issues, R39? No video, rapid chirping when powered

    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...

    Got this Macintosh Classic for $20 on OfferUp

    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...
