I connected an LC 475 to a High-Resolution Monochrome Monitor MO400, specified for 640×480.

The monitor produced an image for about 5 seconds, then emitted a loud crackling noise consistent with high-frequency arcing. I...
Yes, it’s the one with the black block and a Molex connector on the end. I read about it here in the forum, where someone mentioned using it.
I thought that without an HD and an accelerator, it would be sufficient. The Mean Well RPT-60A is definitely better — for what it worth, it’s also sold...
The battery is "new", meaning a couple of years old, left sitting in a drawer.
I will:
- use a new button-battery with the silicon insider adapter
- do a recal
- double test the PSU
But the VRAM SIMM are really not working anymore now :( g
"I'll be back"
Ok, I got a very nice-looking Performa 475 with a network card, HD, VRAM, RAM — but missing the PSU.
I temporarily added a known-good PSU from another LC.
The capacitors look fine. I even removed one to check underneath, and it confirmed no visible leakage. A very very nice board!
Boot time...
Is this a dead thread? I'm planning to use an HD IDE PSU for a Performa 475. The lack of -5V means I’ll lose LocalTalk support — not a big deal, but not ideal either.
My main concern is the power requirements. An HD IDE PSU provides 2A on both +5V and +12V rails. Is that enough for a Performa...
Hi everyone,
I have a faulty 2N6394 (Q8) in the Analogue Board of a Mac Plus.
Is there an equivalent thyristor I can use?
I found 2N6395 sold by Aliexpress, I'm not sure what I will get ... I'm willing to try it, I don't have other options.
Is it?
thanks
Hi mates,
I have an analogue board from a Mac Classic that wasn’t working. There was visible corrosion from a leaking capacitor, but it seemed fairly isolated.
I’ve now replaced all the capacitors, and I’m getting a steady 5V and 12V from the Molex connector with the digital board...
Hi mates,
I would like to add a retro printer to my collection, possibly an Apple one, laser, without hassle when looking for a new toner and reasonably cheap.
Any recommendation?
the pull-down string is at the back. under the upper arm, check it out.
There are 3 or 4 tents where you can adjust the pressure on the heads, I was able to recover a couple of drives in this way
I've been using this for a while, the problem I have is that it can not save bookmarks.
Also editing text on a web page, like in a search box, is a little cumbersome, but for point and click it's ok
Weird that after the insertion of the disk, the heads do not move back and forth to align with track 0.
It's hard to tell, the initialization is a blind process, and the validation checks/reads if it was performed by reading back.
I'd check the pressure on the heads, there is a small spring in...
I have a similar issue with a bombed SE/30, in my case the short is across A8 and A9, and I was not able to find where it is.
https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/salvaging-bombed-se-30-rom-lines-a-8-a-9-shorted.48612/
I guess the acid went down inside the PCB in a via and it shorted two...
No worries @croissantking , it's clearly a very rare circumstance here. You offered a refund on a private conversation, very kind of you. We will work it out.
A different ROM image is not the culprit because it boots from my SD, my image.
An electronic issue? It might be, but it's outside of...
k, I got news.
I installed a RominatorII I got from Siliconinsider, ... and it all works just fine.
Same SD card with the same boot image: 7.5.5
Graycake, Ethernet, Cache, Carrera040 work without a single issue.
I reinstalled the one I got from @croissantking and the boot issues start.
