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?

Looking forward to trying this out and finding out more about it! Thank you so much for making this available, and also for the additional HFS+ warning.

🤣

Drilling a small hole at the end of the crack will stop it from spreading. If this were mine, I would do two things. 1) Practice the fix on similar material. 2) instead of a drill, I would use hot wire about 2mm in diameter and starting from the inside of the piece at the end of the crack...

...now I wish that I had kept all the CentreCom adapters I had from my HP-UX workstations, instead of just the four adapters that I still have. I got a pallet of HP735s back in the day - sorted them down to around 10 fully upgraded units and eventually gifted those all to a coworker learning...
