I was talking about the whole card cage :p But update: I found a CF card with LOS on the X/Profile, changed the disk mode to boot from it and bam! LOS. No memory or I/O board errors, no hanging while booting 80% of the time. The whole system works perfectly. The space key was acting a bit...

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for the answers* Bad news again, though: I guess I was just too excited to receive the box that I didn't even see this. I immediately loosened the screws and removed the rods and set the board loose and fixed the "tab"(?) but the board is still pretty badly bent...

Hi everyone - update: I've bought another Lisa. (heh.) The thing is, I am afraid that if I get into soldering and parts replacing, I'll just break the whole thing down. I am terrible at stuff like that, and don't know anyone who lives within 1,000 miles that can do it. I would rather have one...

Hi Rick! I've removed MEM B - got the I/O error again. Then I swapped them.. and boom. Now I am getting I/O Error 57.. which apparently means "Disk controller problem" ("Lite adapter?") Three thousand dollars for this system.. I guess I just got too excited - most of the Apple Lisas I see on...

Ah.. interesting, I didn't know about that.. Thank you! :)

Wow, those guys are selling a lot of Lisa stuff! Worth taking a look :) For the floppy, I need to check when I get home, but I am pretty sure the seller sent me some double density floppies. In either case, the floppy drive won't take any floppies until I lubricate it so I have no way of...

I have a IIc and the monochrome monitor designed for it, it doesn't take much space and it's a pretty neat and cute machine.. But the problem is, IIc doesn't have an analog cassette input.. meaning you can't do something like this. :p Which means I am stuck with the software it came with it...

Oh dear.. do you think it's beyond repair or I can "brush" that off with alcohol or something? (or would it just damage it further?) It would probably be a few years until an I/O board pops up on eBay :p And yeah, the battery connector looks like they've just ripped it off.. I also saw a lot...

Hi Rick! I've removed the chip to see if there is anything weird looking under, but couldn't find anything. All in all, there doesn't seem to be any corrosion. (although I know almost nothing about electronics :p ) I've taken photos of the failure screen and the chip and the socket here...

Hi CelGen! Thank you so much. I'll take a look at the I/O boards this weekend, hopefully some cleaning will fix at least some of the problems up. I was afraid to do it before since.. well everything feels flimsy and I was too scared that I'll break something but I guess I have no other choice...

Hi BadGoldEagle, Thank you so much for the information! I've just checked, the ROM revision is H and the serial number starts with "B". Weirdly, it does not show the I/O ROM revision on the failure screen, just the letter "H" and nothing else.. is that normal? I can't access the service menu...

Yeah I opened the keyboard and found out that half of the pads were melted/corroded. I found a seller on eBay that sells replacement pads from germany. Not sure how to fix the personality problem that prevents it from booting up other than keeping it on for ~10 minutes - that for reason manages...

Hi everyone! I recently bought (for a hefty price) an Apple Lisa 2/5. Unfortunately, two problems are present in the unit: I get a MEM 71 error every time I boot. Sometimes, it thinks it's a Lisa 1 for some reason and when I click on "Startup from" it gives me Floppy 1 and Floppy 2 options...
