NIGHT STALKER
If I ever find my other IIsi case again (it looks like a well stocked vintage Mac store exploded in my apartment, ATM) I'll have a look see at the PSU's guts.
I'm sure you're right about the overheating issue, any tilt/swivel base monitor would partially, if not completely, block those top vents. The 12" 'zaToppers and the Portrait have feets high enough to allow for proper airflow to the PSU. Those were the only adequate resolutions supported by the IIsi's VampireVideo setup anyway, but few would opt for the expensive grayscale Portrait to get an adequate pixelcount . . .
:O THX, after looking all over the joint . . . thrice . . . I remembered having swapped in the IIsi yesterday, when I took the DuoDock out from under the Portrait! :lol:
. . . my IIsi PSU appears to have suffered from what appears to be major cap leakage (brown discoloration on the PCB) centered on the tall cap tank farm in the corner.
I'm prepping a couple of other packages to deliver into the care of the USPS, so PM me you address and I'll sent it along for the research project. I don't need it back, I'm halfway through doing an ATX conversion inside the sheet metal enclosure.
Just checked out the wiring harness, which I need to desolder for the ATX hack . . .
. . . leakage seems to have made it all the way down into the Mobo connector along a few wires that had been in contact with the PCB! 8-o
I'll post some piccies when I get a chance, there also appear to be burn spots on the bottom of the PCB, likely from overheating if that's what they really are.
