Thanks! Two weeks ago I had a stripy LCD and didn’t know what crimping was. Hope my simple documentation can be of some help in the future. :-)  

My first re-crimping and it worked out alright! Thank you @bibilit and @techknight.

I’ll see what I can find :-)  

Success! But it took some force. Oh, and I found the ‘modern’ ribbon cable ;-)  The clerk at ‘MHz Data’(a vintage PC-store) didn’t even wanna charge me for it!

Finally, some good news! :-)   I think I found someone local who sits on a load of IIs, shall I ask him if he has any of your requests mentioned above? Thank you Bolle!

Are the notchings on the bottom of the II, IIx and IIfx, that holds the motherboard, the same? /K

I switched to a Noctua fan in one of mine. I started this thread a while back: I came as far as to pin down the capacitors, however, the caps may vary from PSU to PSU, so I would recommend to open it.

I managed to open the connector that goes into the LCD-panel, but logicboard connector is a mystery to me.

Love the word ’recrimp’ -- thanks! Now I’m off to find the PATA-cable and start learning the art of crimping! :-)

I see. Are the connectors made possible for realignment? What type of new hard drive cable are we talking about? Much appreciated :-)

I would never have guessed! It almost looks 3D printed!? Thank you so much  @jeremywork!

I’m looking for an INIT that supposedly is called “NoStereo” and fixes some issues with the 601 turbo cache. Anyone here heard of it, tried it, or know where to find it?

Nice! Is it better citric acid?

The flaky and stripy video was a broken 26-pin LCD monitor cable. Has anyone had this problem, and how was it fixed? Where would you find this kind of cable today and what is it called?

I have used Excell none-stop in my Plus for six years now. I cut down on the shipment by ordering three at the time. I store them in the fridge.

I’m currently looking for a light pipe (the little optical plastic thing that let the light from the LED travel to the surface of the computer case) for a Macintosh IIfx. I have already posted in the trading section, but since I’m curious and I would like to tighten the odds on finding one...

Yes, the tantalum caps took me by surprise, I’m so used to blown batteries and rotted traces, so this felt genuinely amazing!

It is the 1360 version 1.2. Should I upgrade firmware to 1.2.3?

I must say, the IIfx is a very clean machine! No leaky SMDs and the PSU seems to pretty solid! :-) 32 MB RAM and FX ROM in place! I’ll try @Bolle battery hack another day!  ;-)

I documented all the boards. Thanks again @Bolle
