Hello everyone,
I’m going to copy-paste what already have asked in some Discord about Macintosh stuff.
My Quadra 700 does not power on anymore and I’m very sad about it. I did quite nothing, it worked until now.
Ps:
I did not recap it. But it really scares me since I do not have time, space, will to make it. And honestly I would not even know which type of capacitors I need...
Since I opened the PSU (which even worse, today dropped on the ground from my chair! :'( really I’d cry!) I though that might be the problem. I also thought it could be the fact that I attached the monitor to it. Unfortunately I did not test the Macintosh as it was before so (as I said, I first tried to power on the monitor alone by connecting the monitor to the PSU and this to the power outlet)

Guys... I’m really sad...
I have a Quadra 700. It worked but needed a battery replacement.
So I removed the old one and I left it in a box until yesterday, when I put the new battery.
In the meanwhile the new battery arrived, I opened the PSU to remove all the dust.
Also, I tried to power the monitor using a three-phase extension cord connected to the Quadra PSU. I wanted to fo it from months.
So, what I have done has been:
• removed the old battery
• waited 3 weeks
• cleaning the PSU
• testing the PSU alone with the power cord plus the extension cord connected to the monitor (nothing happened though, I expected the monitor to power on)
• putting the battery in the Macintosh
• putting the PSU in the Macintosh
• click the power button on the Quadra, plus the power key on the keyboard but nothing happened! Nothing at all.
