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...

No, I tried checking underneath those caps as well (C8, C9, C10) but no improvement after working there. After that, I laid it aside for some other projects and have not come back to it yet. Sorry I did not see your comment until now. Hopefully you sorted your issue, I was going to try...

You beat me to that suggestion by 2 mins!

I've had a few of them where the caps are leaking, required re-lubing, or plastic parts inside had broken. Is this a lifespan measured in use-hours (I assume) or is it a matter of them degrading over time regardless of use? If it is hours, any idea how many?
