I posted this earlier right when 68kMLA was going through its certification renewal, so I'm making an educated guess that is why my pictures weren't uploading. I've copy and pasted the same text from the previous post but with relevant pictures.
Hello once again 68kMLA!
I've posted here about a year ago concerning a Macintosh Classic motherboard needing help, and the general consensus was to recap the board. However due to a lack of time (and money...and confidence...), I never really got around to doing what was needed for that motherboard. But never mind all of that.
By chance, my friend was able to scoop up a Macintosh Classic from a recycling center against all odds, same model and everything. Opening it up, I was met with an interesting but, as far as I'm aware, good looking motherboard. It has a Applied Engineering board sitting on top of the motherboard with the tag TW2325 (shown in the first pic); looking it up here on this forum returns a TransWarp accelerator, but I'm not too sure of its function.
Booting it up, I was met with a sad mac error code of "0000000E 0000FFFF". According to this, the 0000000E represents a failed data bus test, either a bad SIMM or data bus failure. After checking around online and this forum, I bought a new battery for the motherboard (1/2 AA 3.6V) and tried using the RAM from my previous Mac (although I can't say this test means anything ) and am still met with the same error.
I feel like I'm super close to booting this up, but don't know where to go from here. I found a post here or there mentioning the same error code, but no particular solutions. Any advice for the situation?
