ugh then probably will be an oven with ppc, i don't want to fry my audio card. maybe a fan would help but there is not much air intake i guess.. i read of people putting a zip-tie fan on the ppc upgrade card but not sure it will help much, maybe i should focus on another ppc system that won't...

i used that ppc with my quadra and i don't remember getting too hot, although i was doing light stuff. what i'm working on has heavy math calculations so will make the cpu hot... maybe i should zip tie a fan on the ppc upgrade card....

thank you! the first time i put my q700 psu on a q800 board the transformer burnt down and the q800 did not boot at all, but maybe that quadra was defective to begin with. this other one is confirmed working (works with its own psu in its case), so i wanted to ask before attempting again (i...

hello, sorry if the question have been already asked, but i would like to put a quadra 800 motherboard into my quadra 700 case. both work, but for a project i am doing i needed the max 136mb ram, which my quadra 700 did not have. so i got a cheap 800, i hate the case (that also came quite...

I did. Worse than before, now it won't even boot. and the capacitors were soldered upright do it did not even fit. Needless to say I was outraged and they asked to send it back for free repair. I'm starting to give up and sell it for parts...

update: i called the shop today, friday it should be ready. let’s see.

my guess is that they did not. probably left it aside. the irritating thing is that i did not just show up with it and boom, i emailed and called them days prior bringing it to them and explicitly asked if they were up to it. they accepted and then 1 month has passed with no news. once i’ll be...

not really. i called the shop few times and they said they need more time every time i call. i guess they needed to order capacitors etc. anyhow, i’m leaving this country for good on the 19th and so i have told them. tomorrow i’ll give them a call and get the motherboard back. i’ll have to find...

Hello, So whilst i’m waiting for my portable board I brought back to light my SE/30. I prepared a SCSI2SD with my quadra but when I pop it into my SE/30 it does not read it. Neither its old HDD. Apple HD setup doesn’t recognise it either. SCSI2SD blinks rapidly when plugged it, but it does not...

That's a good news! Sometimes it chimes normally and doesn't even play the death chime. Other times straight up death chime. So something is shorting. I gave up and brought it to a repair shop which was scared at first cause they thought they had to open it. I took the mobo out and took it on a...

I suspect shorting as well. Either that really bad recapping job that now we discovered needs to be redone and those traces. I kind of set the portable aside these days cause I was really busy with other stuff, today the battery came in so I thought of trying. I haven't tested the traces but I...

Hello all... Bad news. It does turn on. With stripes all over the place. Sometimes it bongs fine, but I cannot see anything. Other times it does bong death chime. Some other times nothing happens. Resetting power management sometimes clicks the speakers. But then nothing. What do you think )-...

the problem is that I cannot find any schematic and I'm becoming lunatic on this, but maybe it's OK and actually the motherboard is working. next week I shall receive the battery, let's hope!

that's my plan. I have some system 7 floppies around. still waiting for the battery.

I swear the more I look at it, the more I find things. The battery has not arrived yet (Belgium has not an official amazon, so I have to order from Germany and takes time). (I miss the old 68kmla clown Macintosh compact emoji cause that is how I fell right now) Like what is this? It is NOT...
