Yeah isn’t that a unicorn model? Harder to find?? Running out of room, but i do surprise myself when i am able to finagle another mac in lol

Hmmm, well not taking the cover off to check lol.. these covers are awful. I now have the 8100 ,8500, 840av, q800 and the 9500…love the look, but the cases are nasty to open. Especially with brittle plastics.

Ok, well it started working when i Put the case on. So guess thats a thing with these old macs?

I only have an led from a 7600. The connector is the same but it doesn’t light up when 8100 is powered on. I have two 8100 boards and same thing. Anyone with a wiring diagram for the connector?

When i recapped it i noticed a resistor that had looked warm at the solder joints. I reflowed the solder but inadvertently broke the trace. After trying and it was dead I checked all my work and that resistor and noticed it moved a little when touched so checked continuity and sure enough the...

Figured it out.. all good!

Picked up an 8100 case with supposedly working psu. Item arrived no power. So thought well why not recap it, it definitely will need it. Still nothing.. sucks that it was sold as working. Any suggestions?

Got this card from a friend. Can’t get it to work, or really find any drivers. Just checking if anyone has any experience or guidance on these. Going into my iicx

Lol i just did that. The hard drive is the issue. So will reformat and see. Its a lacie drive wont use apple drivers.

Have a Powermac 7600 that i restored. It randonly freezes and every time i restart it the raster comes up with mouse but mouse is frozen. Then it just stays like that. I have 188 megs of ram in it. Just wondering if ram would cause this kind of weirdness? Going to try going barebones tonight...

I have the dual 1.42 card still if you want to try and resuscitate it. Free just cover shipping. Also have a dead dual 1.25

I had two 1.42 cards go bad. Well the first 1.42 tower i bought had a flaky cpu and was warped and sold as is. Bought a 1.42 cpu card off ebay and it worked but it didnt have l3 cache. Eventually died. Got another free 1.42 tower without The psu so took mine out and put it new system. It worked...

I had tons of issues with my iicx and startup. Had one broken trace and had to pull all hc74 or whatever they were and clean pads etc. iici can be nasty too.

Yeah sounds intense! Thanks:)

How much is the cost to rebuild the these? I have a half a dozen or more of these batteries i am sure. But not sure if i am really that interested in doing them.
