IIciNov90
Well-known member
I just enlisted yesterday. I have been on a quest to resurrect my IIci, my first Mac that I bought new in Nov of 1990 hence my user name.
I was a lucky one who got the metal SIMM clips and not the brittle plastic ones.
I have a long story on this but I appear to have had capacitor bleedout only it does not seem to have localized around the caps. It looks more like it precipitated on nearby ICs. Is this sort of effect common? The residue is kind of thick and oily looking.
I am eager to hear what you all may have to say in regards to the mode of my capacitor sludge. I have also read up on some of the IIci related threads and I think I my be heading in Trag's direction. I also have 2 SE/30s but the IIci comes first.
I got it to boot - once - more on that later...
thanks,
Brian
