Hi Falk, I'm based in Lower Saxony in a small city..or village near Göttingen ;) At least you can manage to get "faulty sectors" - on the other hand, sometimes these bad sectors are also fixable by complete low level formatting the drive... We can also continue on PN? Cheers, Marcus

Hi, do you still have your faulty Seagate drive from that Profile? I may know a fix or at least the reason for the incomplete checkup: it could be due a faulty controllerboard that is attached to the drive. I had several drives with same/cery similar behavior. Cheers from Germany, Marcus

Amazing :D - great job done here! is there a final or "beta" file available yet? ;) I would like to test out my printer - especially with some clear or translucent PLA/material :D

Hi :) yes the LC475 board is up and running again. My very thanks goes to @Bolle he helped me with that little bugger. The End result looks like this now and I'm very happy. There was a bad/broken (literally) resistor and a little wirework was needed due bad traces/contacts :D To be true...

interesting :D do you mind sharing the STLs or so? ...or was it just concept on paper? ;). Thanks :D

hmmm someone should make STL files available and we can just 3d print this little baby gem for us ;)  

Well to be true.. I would just need the badge/part in it's shaped form - even without the printing. I know it's a hard level 3d printing every detail and especially these secure points and curved shape - I would be ok with a little afterwork, grinding and sanding. My printer is capable printing...

Hmm I just want to ask again ;)  does anyone every tried to recreate the Macintosh Color Classic front badges/logos? Unfortunately I lost my small logo/badge after I measured it :/

Hmm that U29 looks quite clean and good to me ... damn, I'm not sure, if I can desolder this IC :/ will a ordinary heat gun work or kill the chip? ...and I already consider that board as maybe toast  :/ ..I did one really bad mistake here: this board was pre "tried to repair" from the former...

Hi friends, I just recently recapped a LC 475 logic board. Usually it's nothing fancy about - did it dozen of times. But this particular one won't talk to me, even afte a good recap. It just had bad caps, no battery leakage or so... If I turn on the machine, the fan will start and the hdd...

Oh yes, there can be damage done if the 5V / 12V line on the serial cable goes to the wrong line of the Mac10 :/  well.. I will wait and hope for some good schematics/pinout before I try my luck ;)

Hi Friends, I just dig out my old MAC10 (by Paradise Systems Inc.) external serial hard drive. It once came with my Macintosh 512k. Sadly I can't find it's serial data cable anymore after our last moving in 2019 :(   Does somebody has the same drive and/or can tell me the serial pinout/wiring...

OMG, I know, I know I shouldn't dig here in this "grave" ... but I have a nice Mac10 external Harddrive but I lost my serial cable during our moving we did in 2019 :/  You don't know the serial wiring from teh drive to the Macintosh 128k/512k? I couldn't find anything in the Internet so far :(...

ah, you have to make sure, that no other old gunk of the old leaky caps are still anywhere on the board. This stuff tend to sneak under parts you won't suspect ;)  I once had very ba dissues on a Mac Plus analogboard - old residue did short other components ...

hmm.. something is heavily buzzing inside your PSU :/  how did you cleanup the PCB after removing the old parts?
