Hi Guys,
Im new to the forum (and restoring vintage tech) but pretty active in r/vinatgeapple. Last week a gentleman who cleans out warehouses in search of old tech posted on r/vintageapple and had a 950 in his haul. (see album here https://imgur.com/a/ypS1VTJ). I made him an offer and he shipped it to me straight up...
The outside is nasty but the board is quite clean. So I attempted an initial power up of the 950 just now. I connected power and pushed the power key on the keyboard (hard drive unplugged form data but hard drive power was connected. The fans raved and the system chimed. Immediately followed by some pops and flashes emitted from the circled area. I immediately pulled the power and since then the office has smelled of electrical fire (I believe its ozone, not sure if that the right term though). Whats my next move? Could it just have been dust burning off? Caps busting? Remove the PSU and open it?
Any help is appreciated. Im very excited to get this baby going. Thanks!
