Thank you very much!!!

May somebody share me the capacitor values for C104, C106 and C107? Thank you :)

BlueSCSI is a cool thing but very expensive when shipped to Germany (about $80) and it’s not the same ambiance as it is with a rattling hard drive. But maybe it is worth the $80 as it enables you to mount floppy images using a web interface which is very convenient.

It’s a Quantum ProDrive ELS. As it’s impossible to remove the platter I won’t attempt any further repair and look for a larger replacement drive.

I replaced the leaky capacitors and cleaned the PCB. After that I opened the HDD and the rubber was indeed very sticky. I cleaned the entire metal holder properly (it was a mess to handle this goo) and replaced the rubber with a new one but the behavior is still unchanged :( Old sticky rubber...

During the swapping process with another HDD I saw some leakage from the capacitors in the power supply area of the 40 MB HDD. I will replace them and clean the PCB. Maybe this will solve the issue.

Still no boot from HDD :( But at least it boots from floppy, so the floppy drive is not damaged

I cleaned the PCB of the floppy drive with isopropyl alcohol and cut the legs of the new capacitors a little bit more and now it turns on with the floppy drive connected. Hopefully it now boots from hard drive too. But can still someone share me the capacitor values of the floppy drive? I just...

@cheesestraws @Daniël Thank you!

Why they place ROMs on it when you can’t boot from them?

@mdeverhart I don’t hear any ticking from the hard drive. It just spins up and after 10 seconds it spins down again. The hard drive worked perfectly before the recap. I can try with the hard drive from my Performa 475, but it’s a 4 GB one. Does the Classic II accept such large drives? I will...

I got a Macintosh Classic II with the checkerboard issue. After i recapped the logic board, everything worked fine. Shortly after that, I decided to recap the analog board and the floppy drive too. Most capacitors on the analog board were already leaking. During the recapping of the floppy...

Maybe you had just luck with your modules.

The chips have arrived from the UK and I tried the same now with my G3 Kanga and exactly same issue. The newly soldered chips are not recognized, I’m still having only 128 MB RAM instead of 160 MB. Conclusion: It is not possible to upgrade any PowerBook RAM card by soldering additional chips on it.

I have a Netgear WG511T. But it does not fit in the slot.
