I got 21.5 ohms between the 5v rail and ground, it’s good to know my board is most likely okay, now where can I buy a mAcTX power supply? 

Does anyone know how to adapt an ATX power supply to this, I’m going to get the MAcTX power supply but i just want to verify that i didn’t damage the board while reflowing the caps edit i just bought a picoATX 160, i couldn’t find the 80, is that okay?

I’ve reflowed every cap, now when i plug it the power supply will click rapidly unless the hard drive or floppy drive are plugged in

Alright I’ll try that, thanks 

I’ll try that, did that also solve the booting issue?

Update: after leaving it plugged in and turned on for about 15 minutes it suddenly chimed and booted, however the audio is very faint, I’m assuming these are symptoms of bad caps in the PSU?

I think I’ll trying replacing caps first, I’ve also heard that sometimes solder joints crack so I’ll reflow everything first 

Thank you so much, today I’ll hack an ATX power supply to confirm that everything works and I’ll look at getting/building a proper power supply for it 

Thanks, My only question is why are there two ground wires?    I apologize for asking so many questions 

Does anyone have a pinout for the power supply, I want to confirm that it is the power supply at fault 

Sorry I really should have mentioned that I completely recapped the logic board a few weeks ago, which brought sound back to the machine, it was just yesterday I went to power it up and got nothing 

I’ll definitely look into a new power supply, I’m just worried that my logic board might be dead, is there anyway to test? Like with a PC power supply for now?

My LC II wont chime but the hard disk spins up and when i put a floppy in the drive it spins for a second and then stops i can briefly hear the hard drive access before it stops, any ideas? Edit: the power supply makes a ticking noise when turned on 

Did you use a file or a drill bit?

Basically you bored the hole out so there would be less friction on the hinge axle ?

Curious, did you end up fixing the hinges?

Awesome, hope you get it working again 

3in1 is good, if you have some around you can use ATF (Automatic trans fluid) But anything will work

It sounds like the shaft within the hinge is bent and is seized against the hinge itself, try some electric motor oil, and if that doesn’t work I would consider replacing them altogether 

yeah I know I’m pretty bad at it
