    Mac Classic video waving and boots after 2 min

    Hi everyone, I finally solved this, it has been tricky. The issue was a bad CNY17-3, even If it was already been replaced 2, the key is to get a really good one. The Philips one works perfectly

    Mac Classic video waving and boots after 2 min

    Hi, I'm still having issues, I took a thermal camera picture of the analog board within the first seconds after turning on, then I have redone all solderings ( full solder removal and put fresh new ) in the hot areas, still no luck. As I have issues in both +12V and +5V I would say that the...

    Macintosh Classic, no power at all

    I could put a dummy load and check voltages with oscilloscope. I’ll let you know. The frustrating thing is that you cannot test analog board without CRT

    Macintosh Classic, no power at all

    I think the issue is more on the 12V side. Btw now I no longer have the logic board. I had two Analog and one Logic board ( one Classic were battery bombed ). Btw I think I can measure voltages on logic board connector without the logic board

    Macintosh Classic, no power at all

    Thank you, I'll do shortly, meanwhile I tried with another Analog Board (V2) (already fully recapped), with its own CRT, it is easier to say I swapped thr Logic board to another Mac Classic ( that was battery bombed ), I now get this, ideas?
