    Zapping PRAM

    yes, but instead of cycling x times option-command-pr, just switch off the battery and restart.

    Zapping PRAM

    Since it seems a recurring issue with some Mac, why not hacking the battery holder and adding a switch, accessibile from outside, that disconnects the battery?

    Macintosh IIci

    Thank, for the IIsi can be tricky because an ATX does not fit in, not even a SFX.

    Macintosh IIci

    got it guys, tks @joshc , I'll go for the Seasonic SS250-SU I'll later undo the PSU of the Mac IIsi, currently with the +12V PSU + picoATX I'll try to save the filtering circuit and the relay for the monitor plug driven by the +12V, I think it does not hurt if the Seasonic has it'd owns, is it?

    Macintosh IIci

    What are the options I have for a new PSU? The ASTEC PSU states: Output +5V SB 1mA +5V 12A -12V 1.0A +12V 1.5A Total power is 90W=60W+12W+18W Let assume that I'll not use a HD and have one VGA card + NIC card. I'm thinking of a 150W +12V PSU (typically for LED strips) and a 150W picoATX...

    Vintage lot (of work)

    what about the magic sponge? I use it with care because it can whiten the plastic since it's abrasive, someone I recall used it in place of the retrobright technique @Pushpull76 , from Italy here as well, nice conquest

    Mac IIfx

    it's already a tantalum in mine so, once cleaned it might work out of the box ... assuming the PSU is fine (unlikely)

    Macintosh IIci

    tks, guys. I recapped the PSU but unfortunately it does not work, shortcutting pin 9 and 10 does not starts it up and in any case it does not provide the +5V standby. I will inspect it further for burn-out ares or evident damages, but I don't have competence to make a diagnosis. I don't like it...

    Mac IIfx

    Hi mates, this is a good period ... I got a Mac IIfx, not bombed with no caps leakages. It's in its way, so I have only pictures at the moment. I see there is a: - Apple 820-0400-06 630-0400 Macintosh Display Card with expansion SIMMs - Nubus rev 3 Network card with RJ45, no precise...

    Macintosh IIci

    After a first round of cleaning and the SMD caps removed, I'll investigate the axial one later. Yeah, there is work to be done here ... quite some :( , still I do not see damages. I just hope I don't need to remove the ICs to clean them properly because I see lot of gunk below. The PSU does not...

    Macintosh IIci

    I found a Mac IIci, no HD, with a floppy drive, video card, 8MB and PSU for a nice price. I need to recap it, the electrolytic caps have leaked but apparently it's not that bad. I'll leave the axial ones. I did not open the PSU yet, it will need a recap as well I did not have yet a IIci in my...
