I cannot say for certain at the moment, since it wasn't opened by me and I am abroad, but the logic board seems intact (and very dirty). The entire "lower section" remained in one piece so it could be the analog board was spared, minus some surface components. I don't think it came with either...

Very nice find! I also find Yahoo Japan to be a good source of Mac items. Shipping can be expensive, but it can be well worth it.

It's incredible how bad the quality of this plastic is after many years...but at least now I know what happens if I try. Now I just hope that some of the components are good enough to be used somewhere else.

Apparently yes, I am yet to see this "reinforced package" I paid extra for...I just know there was a ton of bubble wrap. I sincerely hope that Buyee Support will get me a refund, but honestly I don't know how thing work from here. I'll let you know, so that maybe someone else doesn't risk their...

I feel a little sad sharing this, because I hoped it would turn out better than this. But probably my hopes were to high this time. I read countless times these machines are fragile, so I paid for reinforced package...aha of course it was useless. I bought it off Buyee for around 125€ included...

The problem is I can't get to boot the machine, neither from the keyboard nor by jump-starting it  :-/ . Only the fan starts (without the logic board), but no chime and no power light. What’s strange is that the logic board is very clean and recapped, and probably also the analog board. But I’m...

I will check this more thoroughly the next few days so I can answer this precisely. I tried that but it didn’t work: if I start the CC without the logic board, the fan starts (also a clicking sound, I thought it was the HDD not working properly), but no power light. As soon as I insert the...

I managed to find a keyboard (IIgs keyboard, works with my SE/30, even the boot key at the top, but just for turning it off). I tried as you suggested, but it didn’t work. Since the logic board has been previously recapped and (maybe) works, I made some pictures of the analog board, maybe you...

This is one of my 2 bags: it has a tear in the upper part near the zip line, because of that I was able to buy it for a very low price. I had waited at least two years before finding a cheap one. I bought it to ship my CC abroad but I still haven't found the courage to do it  :cheesy: ...

Thanks for the reply! This is is the board btw: The battery is missing so that makes things easier and I’ll buy another one right away (what are the specs btw?). The board seems pretty clean but that’s all I can say as I’m no expert. I don’t need the extra RAM and VRAM to boot the machine...

I have this CC that came without keyboard/mouse: the logic board has clearly been recapped by a previous owner, but I don’t know if it works for sure. If I remore the logic board I can hear the fan going and a clicking sound (failing HDD?), but if I try to jumpstart by inserting the logic board...

The only Zip drives I have are one SCSI and one usb. I had a third one but it has the click of death so it’s out of the equation. Until some days ago it was a very efficient way of transferring files, but now that I have a network card I could also switch to SCSI2SD: it seems a bit expensive...

Hello everyone! My SCSI Zip drive is having some problems lately. At first my SE/30 freezes if the Zip inserted is not properly recognized. The Zip drive suddenly stops and the whole thing crashes. It seemed to happen with just one faulty cartridge, but now I can’t read any of them. Should I...

Isn't the 578 identical to the 575? If so, I'm not sure the backplate will fit as it lacks the hole for the comm slot.

I will try as soon as I can, thanks!

After a long wait, I finally picked this Lc550 logic board at the post office:   I got it at a good price from Japan, and now it will probably need some restoring.   It appears to be dirty but not too much, it even came with VRAM and RAM already installed. I’m just a bit concerned...

Guess I'll do that in the end, it also seems the cleanest and safer way to do it. Thanks!

I just tried with the patched version, but it sees one partition at a time (the boot partition), and the update button is not available. Moreover, I can’t boot from floppy because the floppy drive is not working well...(it mounts but doesn’t format). Any suggestions?

Hi everyone. I recently put a LaCie 8gb external HD into my SE/30, added the proper jumper for termination and installed various versione of system 7 in more than one partition (it has 5 partitions). A month ago the HDD didn’t mount on the desktop, but using a Zip drive I somehow managed to...
