I have four 500 series batteries two of which are beginning to show signs of leaking. As I never need them to power the computer, I'm wondering if it's possible or even adviseable to remove the acid and create dummy, dead-weight batteries. They really help the balance of the computer but I fear...

Regular Performer (not Digital) Something to run on system 6 or 7 on my SE or Quadra. Not sure if it can be purchased anymore? Thanks.

I bought a 1gb microtech roadrunner 2.5" scsi drive but it does not appear to fit the internal scsi cable for my PowerBook 540c...looks like one pin receptacle on the cable is intentionally plugged and does not allow this drive to fit ?

After putting in a second screen, I cranked up the controls on the front panel and the screen lasted maybe 5 minutes...dead to an all white screen after a reboot...this was the same issue with the first screen. So I think some problem on the motherboard or inverter board is killing these lcd's ...

I noticed my SE can get brighter than my SE/30. Is this due to CRT age ? Or maybe some component on the analog board aging ?

After recapping the logic board, resoldering all of the contacts on the analog board and installing a new hard drive, I'm happy to report that my SE/30 is now 100% with no simasimac and finally sound! Big thank you to everyone who offered the tips that made this possible!!!

After verifying a good logic board (runs fine in my SE), my next step to getting my SE/30 in shape seems to be resecuring the solder points on the analog board. I may take this to a pro to do but I'm imagining that white protector cover (case side) on the analog board comes off easily ? And...

Recapped all except c2 and c11 (which look good visually) ...still no sound except for very very faint from the headphone jack. What should I look for in terms of the sound issue next? - RAM issue? - Something on the analog board? - c2 and c11 ? - faulty headphone jack ? - anything else ...

The LCD inside my PowerBook 540c is a "Toshiba LTM09C017"...and I believe it's dead. I've swapped it out with A greyscale LCD from my 540 (which works) and therefore I don't think the boards are the problem. The Toshiba faded to blank white and it seems permanent...are there any retrofit LCD...

The main case is easy but - Is it possible to Retrobrite the front panel of a compact Mac WITHOUT removing the CRT assembly ? (ie: cover/tape up the screen very carefully) I hate messing with that CRT and would like to avoid it if possible. Also - assuming I can remove the Apple logo (someone...

I know I need 10 x 47uf (16v) and 1 x 1uf (50v) - What are the most reliable type to get ? (from digikey I assume) Do I need a particularly hot soldering iron? (I just recapped my inlaws iMac G5 and that was no ordinary solder! Very tough to melt. Is the se/30 board going to be similar? Is a...

I have no intention of monkeying with CRTs but I want to recap my se/30. I am technically proficient with Mac repairs but I have a wife and two boys and I generally enjoy life more than playing greyscale asteroids... So just how dangerous are these specific CRTs on the SE and SE/30? Are people...

Just got an "as is" on eBay....Here are the issues: When I turn on the power switch, I get no startup chime (not sure why? No sound?) but the CRT comes on displaying the "?" disk (looking for a valid drive)... Assuming the hard drive is dead, I put several System 6 and 7 disk tools floppies...

My 540's LCD is afflicted by the gradually darkening corners....I'm confident taking all of it apart and putting it back together, soldering etc...Just need to know what to do if there is any fix besides replacing the LCD (Caps on the Inverter Board and Logic Board look fine.) Thanks for any help.

Today my LW300 died or so it seems...I took it apart to replace the fuses on the power board and noticed the fuses looked fine. The capacitors all looked great as well. It seems to do nothing when plugged in. No sound or activity (motor etc...) except the green LED by the "U" looking icon (the...

Looking for one...What are the chances I can find such a thing?

Hi - Anyone know where I might be able to find/purchase some VERY old Midi sequencing software such as Performer 4 or Vision 2 or even earlier versions? Thanks for any help.

Can someone guide me in the right direction. I'm trying to setup my AWS95 as an FTP server. It's running system 7.5.5 and is online. I just need to know what software to install and how to get it setup. Thanks

Dug it out of my attic for fun....no RAM. I'd like to find two 64mb DIMMs. Thanks for any help.

I haven't used this program for about ten years. I'd love to use it again. Disks are nowhere to be found. PM or email me if you know. Thanks for any help.
