This is how I began my journey, no one was able or willing to repair my classic, so it began… I have 2 PSU for a G4 , after years I have started to map and remove old capacitors, but it may take another 2 years before I have completed the job. In between jobs I have a quicksilver to tide me...

At a real low this morning, it feels like all my efforts over the weekend ended in failure , should be used to this, but sometimes **** happens

Sure are, different manufacturers , but they do the same job. what is more worrying is that lately the failure rate on these sound chips is high. unfortunately nobody Has come up with or suggested a reason for this, or if there are modern chips that could do the same job

Not being sarcastic , the compact Mac forum, I did a search and from what I remember I was kinda pointed in that direction . you may want to de solder pp1 and apply fresh solder, It cannot hurt, I now replace as I have a small batch at hand so have made it part of the routine 👍
