Hi, it's me again!
I finally got round to recapping my Performa 475. My soldering skils are not the best, but I managed to do it without damaging anything .
However. I am still having trouble with it :'( . The recap fixed the whistling speaker and the continual sad maccing, but it didn't fix everything. The hard drive still keeps spinning down when I switch it on, and it is still ocasionally playing half of the death chimes before bonging happily.
It will boot from a floppy, and the RAM seems to work properly, but I'm a bit annoyed about the hard drive, and although the death-chimes-before-happy-chime is not a problem, it is still concerning me as to why it's doing it. I really shouldn't be.
Please help.
