Chimes loud. I turned down the brightness while it was on but that didnt change anything so ill try the brightness cut off and see if that does anything.

Well I decided to fire up my Plus today to test a hard drive that I had. This plus was working about a week ago and from what I remember I thought the CRT was under adjusted to where there was a pretty good size black border (i think). When I turned it on the screen was very bright and had some...

Sounds good. The guy I got it from done about any uograde he could to his machines but I guess he just replaced the bottom. :)

Im trying to understand this weird machine. Bottom says 5300 series. It has IR on the back. However, if the motherboard was replaced then shouldnt it say Powerbook 5300? About this computer shows it as a 190... lol

Well I have a powerbook 5300 with a 190 screen... I assume the screen is the same? I know the 190 is a 68k and a 5300 is a powerpc, right?

I'm hoping its just the 470uf cap that I messed up on cause I got the board a little too hot. I need to get me a new tip.

Yes. I cleaned the pads with wick and then scrubbed the areas with a tooth brush and alcohol.

I would like to point out that I cleaned the board really well but there is a lot of sticky crap on the board, possibly from the solder? I tried cleaning it twice but its hard to come off. Would this cause a problem?

Well I just got done recapping my second SE/30 which was working just had quiet sound... Turned it on Happy Chime Still black screen Death Chimeeeeeee (it was very long) Flash of a Horizontal line I turned it off then turned it back on. Nothing just dead... Seems I killed this one, I done...

Another thing I noticed is it seems like brightness does nothing at all except for if I turn it down all the way then the screen turns off, well goes black anyway.

I believe you're right :) I just got home, opened the box, grabbed the battery, tried to put it in but wait... There was already a battery installed. This computer came with two batteries. So I plugged it in, turned it on and my happiness changed to :O ... No picture on the screen. But...

I haven't got home to check it out yet but I was just wondering if anyone knows what a power print cable is. That's what was in the description on eBay.

My second Mac is coming today... A Powerbook 160! Its coming with the User Manual, battery, charger, and some other cable I'm not sure about. I don't remember what size hard drive is in it (hoping for 120mb). It seemed pretty clean from what I could tell. No cracks at all. Ill get some pictures...

I have DD floppies on the way soon. Found them new in box on eBay cheap. Im not so sure what was up with the hard drive as it would attempt to read but then the light would flash a few times and then it would go to the question mark. The person I bought it from said it was working before he...

Thats true. :) Anyways, here it is! Finally up and running Floppies

Just about a month ago I purchased a Macintosh SE on eBay for 60 bucks shipped, mouse and keyboard included. Its in great condition besides a small crack in the top right corner of the case (which must have happened in shipping as it wasn't in the pictures on eBay). I powered it on as the seller...
