Hi,
I got another Mac Color Classic, and it won't power on.
The issue is on the logic board, swapping with another Color Classic logic board works.

I fully recapped the Logic board and the board itself is not looking too bad, pics attached..
ideas?
thank you !

Ok, I'm going to try, I generally avoid heating up Egret as I have read that it break easily with high temp

And I definitely need a new Egret. The capacitor leakage made a quite bad damage… the board is trivial to fix. But some Egret legs have the consistency of sand, and one is broken.
Does anyone have one ?
Thank you !

Don't have that EGRET I have two spares of another type. I think you can just bodge a wire onto the broken leg and jump a wire from that trace with the damaged pad. I have two 341S0851 EGRET's they might be compatible.

Oh. Good to know. Thank you. May be I have a spare LC III with egret. But LC III had no soft power on… would it work ?

Hi, The Color Classic Is back alive...
Had to restore a few traces and Dremel the Egret in order to recover Pins
It Worked !!
