I actually ran the test on two different quadra 700's, but i used the same boot image. The results were the same on both. I can try running the app on different os versions if you want me to. The 950 was running os 8 I believe (will check tonight).

Agree, too. Don't forget the Sony Caddy cdrom while you're doing the motherboard.. I haven't found one without bad caps. Most are saveable, but some take a lot more work than others.

This is the q950. Again multiple times and the 3rd bracket changed occasionally. Good news is it's not locking up anymore.

For sure. Here you go... Q700 with version 2. Ran it multiple times. Only number that seemed to change was the 3rd bracketed number.

I re-ran the test on both the 700 (with and without the quad doubler) and the 950 multiple times and they come up the same. I also tried using the same boot image for both machines to make sure that wasn't causing an issue. Another thing I've noticed is the app runs fine on the 700, but it...

Will do

I have Quadra 700 have one too, but unsure if the quad doubler will affect you test. If it does I can remove it.

Quadra 950 and a powerbook 520c.

I ended up using a 128meg simm I bought off ebay for cheap on my lc475. https://ebay.us/m/7jRVh4 The ram works great except for the long memory test. Nipped that in the bud by using frontein1's rom image to disable the memory test. I've been using it over a month now with no issues. It works...

Congrats on getting this one fixed! I've had nothing but headaches working on these boards, so I know what you went through to fix it. Amazing job!

Excited to the see the writeup on the ram mod. I ended up upgrading 2 cpu boards to full 040's this past weekend. I still need to change the crystal.and see if I can get 40mhz stable on these cards. BIG Thanks to the guys that did this mod previously!!! @croissantking and @jmacz. I had to try...

I don't have a 610, but both my 475 and 660av require a pram battery to boot. If you haven't replaced it / installed one that's probably the issue your having getting it to boot. If you've pulled all the caps you'll definetly have no sound and probably other issues too. That tdk power supply...

I know it sounds counter productive, but add solder to the dip legs your trying to remove. Its then easier to desolder the pins. It's also a lot easier to remove the solder if you pre heat and continue to heat with your hot air as you desolder with your hakko. You have to be careful with the...

It's not the output voltages that are the issue. The problem is that the monitors main pcb is dependent on that flyback being correct to produce those voltages.. For example... The first (and easiest thing to determine) are the flyback pinouts the same? Then, you get into the real issues. The...
