Hello guys,
So today I popped open this Macintosh Portable. I named it Kennedy.
It seemed like someone else already popped this one open and, indeed that was the case. The motherboard seems recapped, actually not seems, it has been recapped. The machine was said not to turn on. When arrived it came with a new 9V battery and the old white brick. I didn't even try plugging it in and powering on cause I assumed I needed to recap.
So, there is some corrosion in few points on the back. I have to clean that off. Otherwise what do you think of this? Looks like some solder/flux has been left on or? But surely someone put their hand on this. The boards looks clean and all, corrosion spots aside. SWIM looks ok, hybrid module also. I see no corrosion there.
The only thing that was leaking was the Conner HDD. I'm taking a guess that's dead.
Waiting for the new battery to arrive. Hopefully Kennedy is not a zombie.
