I took the analog board out of another Plus today and replaced just the two 4700pF 250v filter caps. It's been an hour now and it's still running! Haven't replaced any C1's yet as that order still hasn't arrived. By the way, I noticed some C1's are 3.9uF and others are 6.8uF. Would it make a...

Well, a few capacitors I was awaiting arrived this morning and I quickly soldered them in. Success so far- I have left the Plus turned on now for over an hour with no issues. Works fine now. Here is a picture of what I have replaced on the Analog board (in addition to those in the previous...

Sorry guys but I can't do any more now till the weekend because I am away with work now. Maybe it's just as well I can't play with this stuff everyday otherwise the frustration would set in! Thanks, Tim

Hi all. Thanks for all the replies. Just a quick post to say I am still waiting for a few replacement caps (which I have already removed from a couple Plus's in anticipation). I ordered from a local site which showed stock and ready to ship. Turns out in stock/ ready to ship means they will...

Thanks for all the replies! I was hoping for some success to report but nothing so far- I ordered a bunch of new caps for the analog board last Monday night and thought they would have arrived by now. No such luck. I took one of the analog boards though and reflowed the solder on a lot of...

Thanks for all the replies so far. It's the RCD in the house that they are tripping- no heaters operating. I took one of the Mac's out to my parents place yesterday and got the same results after a couple minutes- had booted up and was justing sitting there doing nothing. Plugging in other...

Hi everyone, Long time lurker but very short time poster! I have looked through the forums but haven't seen a question same as mine yet (if there is I am sorry and I will delete this post). There are 7 Mac Plus's at home I have been hoarding away (hate that word). The other day I got...
