I've actually tried taking the RAM out entirely, and that didn't help at all, but I'll give it a shot anyway... -Academician

I've already ruled out the battery being the problem, actually. I had seen someones post about that video problem and decided to see if the battery was indeed the problem. I used a multimeter and I get a nice steady reading of 3.56, which considering the max is 3.6, tells me that the battery is...

I have my Centris 610 hooked up to a 14" (13" viewable) Color Display that came with it when I bought it. Last night I finally got some RAM that I bought for it to max the thing out at 64Mb so I could install OS 7.6. I installed the RAM, powered up the system, and all went fine. I noticed that...

Success! I have gotten the keyboard to work, and so far it seems to be staying that way. My stiff bristle brush treatment to keyboard once I had removed all the keycaps seems to have done the trick. I put it on top of one of my PCs overnight to dry and I couldn't be happier with the results...

I did indeed wash it out with hot water from my sink, which didn't seem to make much of a difference except clean out the mess of dust and grime that was inside. Unfortunately, as fas as I can tell, each individual key has a switch that is saudered (sp?) to the circuit board that is on the back...

Yeah, I had thought of buying System Savers for my IIe and IIgs, but then decided against it. Though it does have a power strip, I have heard bad things about the fans being ineffective and loud, maybe due to age. GSE-Reactive actually sells an alternative kit for the IIe that uses modern fans...

Well I'll sure keep an eye out for the replacement keyboard. I did manage to find one on eBay but it is literally more expansive than what I paid for the entire IIe. That is of course, just unacceptable. I'm going to do some more inspection on how to clear up the keyboard and get it working...

Because the Apple \\c has a few architectural differences from the \\e and the Macintosh (which I assume the M0100 was probably designed for) I would suspect that the mouse controller architecture is just enough different to make the mouse not work as it should. That being said, I'm definitely...

Unfortunately the thing was from an as-is recycler, and even though a DOA warranty was offered, his policy states clearly that any tinkering with the machine post-purchase voids the warranty. So essentially, because I bothered to look in the case to figure out what the hell was flying around...

Thanks for all the tips so far guys! With a fresh start this morning I did as I had planned and you suggested and removed all of the interface cards, including the 80 Col/64k card, and I still had some problems. When I first turned it on I got this stream of data on the TV, I guessed that...

As I posted in Conquests I recently bought and just today got an Apple ][e Platinum. It came with a 5.25" drive and an RGB Monitor (which I'm pretty much using as a large paperweight atm). The RGB Monitor of course won't work the the ][e, and as I suspected it's just something the recycler stuck...

Nice grab :D Good to see a fellow Apple ][ enthusiast finally get one of these fantastic machines. 8-)

Time will tell indeed :beige: Since he seems to be some technology recycler I wouldn't doubt that it's just a chance inclusion simply to get rid of it, I know how CRT monitors take up space :p . The I/O ports on the back of the system also are vindicative of a ][e, so here's hoping. I'm...

Unfortunately it isn't a local pickup. Where I live a ][e usually goes up for sale every year or so tops and it's usually $50 or more. That's what I ended up paying for my current GS, but it did come with a lot of software and all the original manuals so I wasn't going to complain. I feel like...

8-) Hail friends! I have finally been able to acquire the computer that I have been after for a good 12 years since I saw my first Apple ][e at a friends house. Here It Be I'm likely going to get a Monitor ][ Color or similar to replace the GS monitor it comes with. And probably another...

Thanks for all the advice so far guys =] Gonna do me some re-Mac-search this weekend ;P By latest OSX I guess I meant the new up and coming version, reading through that comment again I probably should have worded that far better, hehe :] Glad you answered both sides of the question though...

First off I am a Mac nub, I've dealt with PCs forever. Not to say that I'm "seeing the light" and changing to Macs, but after buying an Apple II I've become a little more open to fooling around on the fruit computers :p I am currently eying a Beige G3 on eBay that so far seems to be...

Hey guys, I have the opportunity to get a complete 7100/66 for practically free around here and I was wondering if it was a deal I should pursue. I don't have much space available (I own 7 computers now alone). I read up on the system model and though I don't know what, if any, upgrades have...

Thanks guys :] I completely forgot about WeLoveMacs, I've browsed there before! I may have a friend who can hook me up with all my RAM needs but it's certainly good to know a reliable source. You'd think someone with an A+ Cert would be able to tell that 60ns is better than 80...it's gotta be...

Hello again, Now that I'm on the path to having my Centris up and running the way I like it I have to do a few more upgrades :beige: I got a great deal recently and finally got all the cd hardware for my Centris which now enjoys a 600i cd drive. I also got OS 7.6 with this deal and when I...
