It worked! Thanks!

on the keyboard that came with my Macintosh 128k, the hyphen key does not function. How can I fix this?

I have an original macintosh 128k with it’s keyboard but the return key on the keyboard takes a little longer to push back up after pressed. It seems like there is dust or something stuck inside it. How do I fix this? The hyphen key also does not work at all. How would I fix that?

Thanks

Im fixing another mac 128k does anyone know what the TRW chip is?

No, I was thinking on doing that but I don’t know where I can and can’t touch. I don’t have much experience with macs. I would need a tutorial.

I bought the mac off of ebay, so I dont know what its been through. Im guessing you can just drop an 800k in there, I did switch the cable from the older one from the newer one though.

Thanks, looks like the motor is dead or it has a faulty board.

Yep, It only happened once, it never happened after that

Yep, I put the 2 cogs back in place correctly, and i realigned the gears.

How would I lower the upper tray? Do I just force it down a bit with a screwdriver or another hard tool?

This is the sound it made. I forgot to mention, this is an 800k floppy drive inside a macintosh 128k.

I relubed, changed the eject gear, cleaned it up, and it still doesnt eject. any ideas?

I put my mac 128k together after days if work. But the disk doesnt seem to work. when I tried manually removing the disk with a tie, there was a spark where the 2 objects touched. Is this dangerous or is it normal?

While restoring my mac 128k I took a look at the logic board and found an extra sse board. (pictures below) Does anyone know why it is there, what it does, and if it is rare or not? Thanks
