...my floppy drives were so bummed out to hear this! ;)

The motherboard, like all of its ilk needs to be recapped. The "if it ain't broke" advice doesn't apply since you can't tell until it is too late that caps are bad and have damaged something. I've recapped both of my boards (and my video card) and they are solid. I have a couple of the PSU's...

I do!

Would this also work on the SPARC Stations of a certain age? (very nice work btw!)

What was your arrangement for this? The normal lithium battery (14250) is 3.6 volts. I will test out mine with a lower voltage and see if there is a point where I can recreate the issue. Alternatively if it is a broken trace, here are the 475 schematics from the MacDat site (nice place btw)...

Ditto on the battery with this model. And I have much better luck since I started using a white vinegar soak to eliminate the cap juice (followed by DI water and 99% alcohol) for what its worth.

If you are looking for apache on AIX, I would start here. I have no idea if the open source AIX dl's would work or not on an ANS, but its a good place to start your research. Good luck.

My bad too! I got caught up in the IIci talk and forgot to check the beginning of the thread...happy to see it running, congrats!

...from the Apple Memory Guide...I also recall there is a post (not sure where) about the optimum bank A amount. Too much DRAM decreases the onboard video performance.

I cut away some of the outer insulation to more fully examine the damage and it appears that the pinching only caused minor damage to the metal sheathing. If I see video issues when it is working again, I will know where to check first. I'm not sure if this is the site of a blown electronic...

Noted - I didn’t know about the different revisions, but it makes sense and like you, I jot down the locations, values when I recap them, so I’ll just use your list as a guide. Thanks for your help

Thanks for mentioning the screws. I’m usually good about noting that, on my take-apart notes, but your comment kept me on the lookout for them. I was also going to recap the PSU in one I just acquired - did you happen to save the capacitor list? Is there a fuse located above the power inlet...

backlit w/ link to non-backlit If you have not recapped before (removed leaking capacitors and replaced them), practice on something else first.

If I had a nickel for all the items I turned down because they weren't my 'focus'..., but like you, I trust the items went to someone that could appreciate them.

Make sure you are using plenty of good quality flux (I despise ROHS solder, so any advice I give would be biased, and I like a good Ag-Sn-Pb mix). It appears that NVIDIA would have gone lead-free to meet the EU regs that were coming in 2006 (is that really 20 years ago already?!?) so its likely...
