I took inspiration from this thread and designed a similar mounting plate for the RPT-60A in the Dyna Comp DCF 353 PSU shell. https://www.printables.com/model/776866-apple-lc-dyna-comp-lc-353-psu-meanwell-rpt-60a-mou

I decided to revisit this again. I have done some further testing: The same problem occurs under OS 8.6 However, under OS X (I tested 10.4) the audio volume controls are normal. I can adjust the volume from barely audible to blasting. Yet under OS9 and 8.6 I can not. Anyone else have any...

I wish I had access to a thermal camera like a Flir. That would make identifying the hot/shorted component a lot easier.

Looks like the 5v rail is shorted to ground somewhere. I can buzz out continuity from the motherboard power connector between ground any of the 3 5v pins. So I'm guessing a component somewhere on the board connected to 5v is toast. Couple be a cap or an IC of some kind. Has anyone seen this...

Hola folks! I recently received a new to me Quadra 700. It was sold as not booting. While it does power on (power led is on), there is no chime (I do hear a click/pop from the speaker) and no video. While the scsi drive spins up, it doesn't boot from it as far as I can tell. Motherboard is...

Have you been able to resolve this? I have a new to me Quadra 700 behaving the exact same way.

No. That's the weird thing. It just gets louder and louder while staying clean and undistorted. You could fill a nice size room with audio from this thing. I just wish there was a couple notches of lower audio volume. I keep it on the lowest notch before Mute and it's still louder than I would...

Hola everyone! I picked up a nice condition Graphite slot loading G3 iMac last week and so far everything has been really great with it. Replaced the dead IDE harddrive with a StarTech IDE2SATA adapter and 120GB SSD. Replaced the PRAM battery while in there. Zero leakage of the batteries or...

Hola guys! I just posted up a video detailing my first Mac that I bought back in '96. Thought it might be of interest to some of you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ9edd-bod8

Yeah, I noticed there were a few on the backside of the drive. They don't appear to be looking, but I'll measure them and see if they are the problem.

So I picked up a Performa 475 recently and the floppy drive is having issues. Any disk I put in it it reports as need initialized. Even known, good working disks. And of course attempting to format these disks failed. I have removed the cover from the drive and cleaned the heads. No change in...

I would like this kind of info too! I’m waiting to receive a Performa 475 and would like to find the correct matching monitor.
