Hi everybody, yes, you read correctly, when I power up my LC there comes an unbearable fish smell, I've already recapped the Motherboard, but the problem is still present. How can I solve this? Everytime I power up the LC I die instantly due to the strong smell. Thank you.

With ATX I revived my Performa 6200, my IIci and IIsi, they are very useful

UPDATE - 20/03/2018 I just finished recapping my LC motherboard and I added the missing cap, now works perfectly and it doesn't do weird sounds from internal speaker anymore.

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2171912 Here someone says that the 8100 wants only +5V, +5V TRKL, +12V and -12V so, yes, you can do it. You'll not have the soft power, you'll have to power on/off the Mac with a rocker switch between the Green ATX cable (PS_ON) and a GND cable, there is a...

I really hate these Sony Floppy drives, while I was trying to lube the head driver I lifted up a bit the higher head, now this doesn't want to lift down when I insert a Floppy Disk, how can I solve this before I destroy it with an hammer? Thank you :)

Sounds strange, like a bad SCSI driver partition on the HDD. The Quantum HDD certainly has the disk arm glued to a bumper, this is a "lovely" feature of Quantum and Conner HDDs (I'm sarcastic for "lovely", obviously it isn't) Have you tried to check the 1 GB HDD with Disk First Aid?

The original PSU died in 2016, I use a modded ATX with IIsi and IIci

UPDATE - 14/03/2018 DID IT! I changed all the 47uF 16V caps on the motherboard and on the FPU card, now it works like a charm! Now I have sound from speaker and I kept power on the Macintosh for 1 hour, it booted 7.1.2 and 7.5.3 from SCSI2SD and I played Shufflepuck, Shatterball, Prince of...

Recap it, it's the best thing to do with a pre 1995 Macintosh, especially with an LC

However, in my life I saw wire traces only on Amigas (mostly 1200)

Okay, I'll put a cap also on C105, 5 minutes ago I saw again my LC motherboard and I noticed too the cutted leg of the cap, I also saw a lot of photos on Internet and I noticed the cap on C105 in every motherboard. I provided also to search informations on Google about the annoying noise from...

Quantum 40MB HDD repaired, it works perfectly also with the internal HDD with 7.1

Hi everybody! Today I received a beautiful Macintosh LC with stuck HDD head and obviously I have to recap it completely, from the speaker comes a lot of weird sounds like a cap that is charging and discharging (a stupid example: *I power on the Mac* *boot sound* uuuuiiIIIIIIIIIIIIII...

Okay, finally I "connected" the Iici and Q700 with the Pi Zero W, "PPP UP" in MacPPP but, why can't I surf Internet? I tried Netscape, MacWeb and iCab, no way to go on internet, why?

This afternoon I became completely crazy, I tried to connect my Pi Zero W (I put the Pi 3 in NesPi case, so it is stuck in that case) with Serial-USB and Null Modem cable with my Quadra 700 on 7.6.1 and on my IIci on 7.1.2, completely no luck... I'll wait for a good tutorial.

Thank you, I'm reading these posts, especially the first is explained in a good way, I'll try to follow it! :)

I'm reading the whole thread after a little bit of time and I'm confused af, maybe someone can write a clean and good described tutorial for connecting the Mac through the Pi to internet, it would be very useful to everyone...

Here it is a list of IIsi's Sony PSU caps http://www.maccaps.com/MacCaps/Capacitor_Reference/Entries/1990/10/5_Macintosh_IIsi_Sony_Power_Supply.html Honestly, I would also recap the IIsi, here another caps list...

Macintosh IIsi wants a display that supports Sync On Green, I have a Sony Trinitron Multiscan 210ES (now dead, unfortunately) that worked with my IIsi and IIci with the VGA adapter, now I'm using my father's Apple display purchased with the IIsi in 1991.

Mh, rarely Performas want a recap, 68k Macs like Macintosh II, Classic or SE and others almost always want a recap.
