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.

Yeah i have had a few bad 61/71/8100 boards that stayed dead or did the exact as what you said above. I do believe the 601 is the main issue. The board i have was known working and then he tried to recap it. He also pulled heat sink off and possibly he affected the 601?? Too bad i guess. I...

Well, she turns on, but no chime or display of any kind, so either something isnt connected, or he butchered it elsewhere unfortunately. Does it need to be in a case to work? Grounding properly?

Acquired a board from a friend who had some caps and pads come off. He sent board up to me and i fixed everything except one 47uf cap. It attaches to one via but there is another one on the other side of pad which may or may not have been attached to pad as well. Dont have a board to compare...

Hi there, good to know. It did pass calibration thankfully so all seems good now:) so will install latest apple vision software on my 7100/av and all should work well with this monitor and i can finally put case back on.

Check for bent pin if applicable in the connection. Try doing a fresh install of an os via the dock. Definitely recap the logic board if not done.

Yup, got the apple vision installer off of a legacy apple cdrom and all is good on the 6100:) so now will do my 7100. So nice to change resolutions

Ok, good to know, thanks! Will try os8 on the 6100 and see. Yeah, i like this monitor, nice and crisp.

So i made a custom mac 8100/100 in a 7600 case. So far all good. Just need to clean up io port area. I have an hpv nubus video card in it. I have used the apple vision with a 6100, a 7100 both with onboard video and the av cards. Sometimes i get weirdness with the monitor and cant get anything...

Well, found a broken trace i thought was fixed but no, was still broken lol.. so now all works good:)

So grabbed a local classic for fun. Recapped it and cleaned. It was pretty nasty for cap leakage. Now its all recapped and working fine except sound. Checked traces, had to fix a few including a broken trace from y1 to rtc. Still no sound. Removed sound chip and checked everything, put back on...

The fan is the worst to remove. Grab and squeeze near bottom on both sides and pull up. Don’t knock yourself out when it comes out.

Yup, hot air for removing ic’s etc. gentle push and twist of old caps is my go to method. For some reason hot air does not work well for me with caps, Either putting on or taking off. Have to be so careful to with hot air that other things dont start moving around as solder melts. Once your good...
