So I waited too long to recap (one of) my LC II's. I was using it the other day when the speaker started crackling as I was using it... uh oh.
Pulled it off the stack and pulled out the caps. Ordered new ones, they came today and I recapped it.
After recapping, the sound is nice and crisp again, but the hard drive now spins down a few seconds after spinning up during booting. It repeats this, then tries to boot off the floppy. Seems really odd, the recap was very smooth (no lifted pads etc.) and I cleaned it pretty darned thoroughly. Any ideas?
I've tried multiple known working SCSI drives, and it worked before recapping.
