forgot to say, i clipped that. every chip appears to have at least one corroded leg, looks like crap inside.

Everyone warns of the bezels, ill try to make sure they are ok. I will probably replace the ~5 rusty components in the PSU and give it a clean for now, if it doesn't work, ill go further or be open to purchasing a new one. The voltages are very low right now, that's if I tested the 12 and 5v...

I heard Flathead screwdrivers are fine as well. If you do decide to invest in a keycap puller, I suggest you stay away from the $1 circle-shaped ones, I got one of those first and it was useless, this particular one was too thick to get between keys. I suggest one like this if you don't want to...

I received it about 5 days ago, PSU could be dodgy, tested with multi-meter. Rust is present on both the case of the PSU and on some of its components. Case is perfectly intact.  Can anyone fully identify the cards shown? Card with video out (I think) says 13166 VIDEO CR-2, other says 12004...

Got lucky not long ago and found one with the same specs for $15, it was dead so I sold it as an unfinished DVI monitor that needed the conversion done. I am very glad I got a new one that actually works, not letting it go anytime soon, regret selling the Plus and will be keeping one of the...

Around 3 months has passed since I last visited the place which had 3 Macintosh Pluses, finally worked out a deal to purchase them and more, about 2 days ago I collected the stuff. I know one Plus works and the iMac G4 does. iMac G4 is 1GHz, 17" (not 15" like I thought), has Geforce 4 MX 64MB...

Could go to priceline, they sell a 1L 40vol 12% bottle for $12 I believe. Could go to a beauty supply store, one not too far from me charges $4 for 1L but I dont know how they work, dont know if they sell to general public.

Fuse was blown, replaced it.

I hope it not turning on wasn't the logic board (not really), analog board is already out, decided to recap it and replace some other stuff, gunk was spotted under some caps. The bad looking resistor fell apart when i tried to remove it, I do know its values though.

So it can still behave totally dead due to logic board? Its been washed, pads cleaned and old caps gone but no recap yet, waiting for caps in post. Board looks great though.

My g3 beige has a g5 tower superdrive installed but not tested yet.

Hi everyone, first of all, system is totally lifeless, no sounds at all when trying to power it on, I haven't measured anything yet because I need a new 9v battery for my multimeter, any idea what to around the burnt areas (picture 2) and in general? Planning to replace every electrolytic cap...

Got the G3 desktop, good that it supports IDE, the generic compaq windows xp machine with a 40GB IDE HDD and DVD burner usually pops up on gumtree (craigslist equivalent) for $0 once in a while, would a beige G3 take a normal non-apple DVD drive? I know my powermac g4, G5 and emac takes a...

I have been doing most of my retrobright outside, most attempts were during a heatwave and I got streaking with the plastic wrap nearly every time, those annoying bubbles form and need patting down all the time, maybe ill try regular coating with a brush and no cling wrap. One interesting thing...

Had a read of that page on troubleshooting steps. Interesting about the PRAM battery, I only have one new one left and will have to buy more but the last one can be used in the colour classic. Since this is the most expensive machine I have purchased so far, I want to replace every electrolytic...

The emblem should have a little hole on the other side, maybe use a needle to pop it out through that hole. I usually just push it back in with no glue, had none fall off yet. Im not a big fan of the creme developer method, never got a totally smooth result, using a key cap puller I removed all...

The logo is missing which is something I want to replace one day, crack isn't too bad, I will try that WD-40 method when I can find some in the house.

Ordered a colour classic, just wondering if anyone knows what 330uF 400V replacement cap will fit and if its a snap-on. Also wondering if anybody has any tips about dealing with a dead colour classic. Photo found from here:
