Has anyone successfully brought a QuickTake camera back to life by recapping it? Are there other things to try before recapping? Or some caps that are more likely to fail than others?
I’ve pulled my 150 apart, a lot of tiny screws & some desoldering. God knows how I’ll get it back together. I took photos but it may take a while.
My caps list doesn’t seem to match the one found here: https://mac68k.info/wiki/display/mac68k/Capacitor+List#CapacitorList-QuickTake150
My list is more like
3x 47uF 10V
1x 180uF 300V
2x 22uF 16V
1x 100uF 10V
and what Mouser has as a “supercapacitor V/MOUNT 5.5V 0.047F”.
It also has what looks like a PMU reset button. Is that perhaps worth trying before any recaps?
