    Picked up a few macs, don't know where to start

    I put the IIgs battery kit i found on ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/235645917276 in it and i put the holder sitting next to the HD. So all I have to do is take the cover off to change the battery.

    Now I have the 128k with the same problem you fire it up and it has startup sounds but dead screen. Where do you recommend I start? I have no battery in it right now if that could be a reason, it has that oddball battery thats like a AA but the voltage is different.

    Picked up a few macs, don't know where to start

    I always thought it was strange how 2 of the same batteries could be kept in the same environment and 1 could have blew up 20 years ago and the other is still holding a charge after 38 years lol. On the SE Superdrive one i have there was a mint condition maxell in there lol lucky

    Maybe the old battery was still good and holding settings? That would make sense, then when i cut it it reset the settings to default

    Picked up a few macs, don't know where to start

    I tested the SE before I took it apart and it would turn on, red light for harddrive but a dead screen. I thought maybe if i take it apart and clean it up and clean the connectors put a new battery in maybe it will work. Well I got lucky I was right i put it all back together and the screen is...

    Picked up a few macs, don't know where to start

    I just found it browsing ebay one day for my IIgs i figured it would work the same. Would be cool to have it outside of the case too so you dont have to open it up. But then again it takes a few minutes to open it up, think ill just leave it inside as im keeping it anyway. Would be a good...

    But all you have to do is change it right? What do you do for a battery? Did you solder one in or just buy a holder similar to the one I got? What is the normal

    Thanks everyone for the input on the printers and scanner I dont want to reply directly to everyone since there was alot of you, but ive pretty much decided ill hold onto them all with the exception of the big and bulky laserwriter.

    Picked up a few macs, don't know where to start

    I found an Apple ImageWriter II, Apple Stylewriter, Apple Personal LaserWriter LS, and an Apple Scanner. No cords for anything and the stylewriter is missing the tray(s) its just the body. Worth keeping?

    I was checking it out and theres a label on the bottom that says "1.1 GB/20 MB - Bad Screen" So we're now in the same boat Lol it probably shit out when it was new and spent 30 years in that Duo Dock. Is it possible to still use the laptop with the Duo Dock?

    Picked up a few macs, don't know where to start

    I grabbed one of the 3 Duo Docks, the one with the laptop stuck in it. So it turns out this one and one other one are Duo Dock Plus's and the other one is an original Duo Dock. I tried pushing the manual release button on the side to get the laptop out i was shaking it upside down over the bed...
