I am thinking more and more about the possible solutions for my LC problems. I swapped the power supply yet the video problems that returned last week persist.
I have three options at this point:
1. Wait about a week to see if they go away again.
2. Install that new logic board.
3. Install an LC475 logic board.
Part of me wants to do number three but another part of me wants to leave this an original LC. I would love to have power, of course, but it just would feel strange placing a different logic board in a computer I have owned since 1992. The other issue I'd have is compatibility--I'm not sure if some of my programs would work with the 040 or not.
If I did the swap I'd keep all the other components (hard drive, floppy, etc). Would I be able to swap the boards?
(The reason I ask this is because many have said an LC cannot become a higher-powered machine with its existing case bottom--yet the LC II board supposedly can use the same case as the original LC. Was this just part of Apple's plan to charge more, especially since a new LC475 was pretty cheap in 1993?)
I did put my IIe card in the LC, finally fulfilling a dream I've had since I was in kindergarten. The CC was just too flaky with its hard drive issues.
