It doesn't seem like the logic board in anyway, since the more I read up on this, the more I see people having this issue and noting it is the analog board. They mention a C1 capacitor on the analog board, should I replace that?

Sounds like a plan, I'm gonna get the tools this weekend, may be a fun weekend project to make this thing a little bit more happy.

Well yeah, but at this current point in time it's going strong.

Is it safe to rule out the main logic board? There doesn't seem to be a thing wrong with it, it's just the analog board that it seems needs attention. I'd probably just tune up the entire board with fresh solder. A recap probably won't be too difficult on these analog boards? If they're not...

Clearly this is not something I am familiar with at all guys, sorry for all these questions. Other than this the oldest Macintosh I own is a Powerbook 5300cs that I refurbished, but it didn't require anything like this to get it up and running.

I'm not going to plug it in anymore, I'm not sure where to start. Should I start off with tuning up the cracked soldering points if they're any? I'm going to assume there will be. If not, then I should check the capacitors? No matter how much I try I cannot get the thing to go into any reboot...

When I get it open I'm gonna investigate it further, I'm almost certain it's capacitor related, and probably also solder joints. I'm pretty newbish with this stuff, so I am not sure what an opto-isolator is? It that something that's repairable?

Nah, I'd definitely like to get this thing up and running. If I can get past the CRT and get the analog board out, then I can probably dive into fixing it. The thing powers up no problem now, it never resets anymore, so getting the screen to come up to pull the plug would be simple. My dad can...

Step 1 is getting the thing open, in which first I gotta find a screwdriver that will extend into the handle to get the two screws out. Second obstacle is that I have no soldering experience, like at all, never touched a soldering iron in my life. I know I'd mess something up. On top of that, I...

Got a Macintosh Plus roughly a week or two ago, with a keyboard, Apple 20SC hard drive with an OS on it, no mouse though. Anyways, upon first boot, I plugged in the keyboard, hard drive, powered on the hard drive and then the computer. The classic Macintosh Plus *beep* emitted. Then I noticed...
