Two days ago when I was scanning the local auction website I found a Macintosh Classic
I paid HK$250 (about US$33) and grabbed this little Mac home.
It was having a bad PSU, causing the screen so wavy. Checkerboard pattern also appear when I power on the computer. So I washed the motherboard, cleaned the case and waited...
...it still shows the checkerboard pattern until I power it on for minutes, then it booted :b&w:
The 40MB hard drive is dead and I swapped the floppy drive with my own Macintosh Classic because mine wasn't working. So now it's using a not-so-fit manual injection floppy drive...
Anyway, I just love this Mac because it can boot from ROM
It was quite dirty...
Cleaned and fixed
