    Mac 128k unlisted error code

    Actually, I just fixed this. It was two more RAM chips, bit 3 and 4 which added together in binary is 1100 or 000C in hex. I changed chip 3 following a hunch and was left with 040008 which showed chip 4 as bad. Now with 1,3,4 all socketed and replaced it is now asking for a boot disk.

    Help with troubleshooting a Plus

    OK so I have a Willem programmer, does anyone know if a EPROM or eeprom can be a drop in replacement? I can handle downloading a bin and splitting it but was hoping I could find a replacement before I tear into it again.

    So is it normal for the tone to be that long? I only have my classic to compare it to but it seems to last forever.

    Help with troubleshooting a Plus

    I have swapped RAM with some 1meg 30pin 8chip simms I had. Same thing, Pram battery is removed. Tried it with and without the floppy connected, tried it with no mouse or keyboard. The board is pretty clean but I will try blowing it off and inspecting the connectors for foreign objects. I have...

    Help with troubleshooting a Plus

    Hello, I've recently picked up the compact Mac addiction. It started with a classic that had pram battery cancer, then I got another classic that just had some leaky caps. That one is all good now but then I stumbled upon a super clean Plus. The problem is it doesn't boot properly. I get a boot...
