I had a very similar issue with my SE. I even have a video of it here: I never really looked into it but I think it is a logic board issue. Probably bad caps. I also remember the brightness being way too high.

Okay, so the saga continues it seems. . . For a while everything has been fine but now there's a couple of other issues that have cropped up. Now the mouse and keyboard isn't responding, however soft-power via keyboard is working and the wireless mouse I use is definitely responding to the...

This reminds me of the IIfx I received 8 years ago along with a II (that survived albeit with no signs of life). Sadly both batteries went on a killing spree.

Nice find, these things have absolutely rocketed in value lately. I almost had a heart attack seeing a PB 145 going for over £100 here in the UK, and mines in better shape and in an original bag! Is it just me or are pretty much every Macintosh system going up alot lately? I can't even see the...

A little late to reply, but this thread was too good to avoid and I'd like to share my experiences with this since I've collected (probably way too many) machines I my time. I don't like to make a habit of prying into other's personal affairs, and I don't judge anyone here at all. However...

Okay, so since unplugging for a while, it does seem to me that it could be a capacitor issue. So you guys are probably on the money with the caps being at fault. I would imagine they are relied upon for the soft powering system. Since it only starts after being plugged in for 10 mins or so, my...

Well this is a real change of events. I (unintentionally) left this thing plugged in (but not powered on obviously) and came home a couple of hours ago, just thought I'd try it to see if it's still broken and would you believe it, it's powered up! I've heard of this trick before on other...

I'm pretty sure they're probably original, atleast I haven't ever replaced them. Would they cause the machine to not even switch on though? The board itself is clean, I see no signs of leakage anywhere. Don't get me wrong, I certainly will get into cap replacement once I home my skills and get...

Hi guys, been a while. In my absence, I've actually been quite busy. I've been sorting out alot of my old Mac 68K (and a few PPC) machines and over the past few years, bringing them out of storage with mostly positive results. However this IIvx (I know, hardly one of the 'good' ones but I...

Aha I did actually see that thread. As far as I can tell all I need is a pre-'enabled' 7.1 boot disk to boot from after 'init' the HD and formatting it with 100% dedicated to the Mac itself. Then just copy the contents of the boot disk to the root HD. All of which I can do, but won't I need an...

Hi all long time no see. Had alot of "life" things going on so wasn't able to be so active and had such little time, apologies. Long story short I finally got round to sorting out some of my machines with the help of that awesome BigMessOfWires Mac Emu device I got a few days back. I'm trying to...

Sorry for double post. I found drivers in the end, shame the card turned out to be faulty. :(

I just received a "Mac Edition" Radeon 9200LE card and I was wanting to swap it out with the Rage card currently installed. I am fruitlessly looking for drivers for this card to work on OS 9.2.2. Does anyone here know where I can find them or if they have a CD they can upload as an .ISO or...

Thanks guys. bibilit , if you have a spare CD/floppy around or can make a copy that would be even better but if not i'm sure I can get this on the 7600 somehow. :)

I need a hand as I had bought a 9600 tower from eBay and I havn't the space for it so I had given the basic tower away and kept some of the cards. One of which is a Sonnet Crescendo G4 450/1M which will fit my 7600 fine. However, it has a 400Mhz G3 card installed currently (XLR8) and swapping...

Ah that would make alot of sense. I dread to think what the Ni-Cd's are like inside that but first I will have to find a way inside then thing! I am not planning on doing the project anytime soon but it is on my list of to-do's. Is there any documentation of such things done to old PowerBooks...

Good news, thought for the price i'd risk the PowerBook 100 AC adapter and it works a charm. :) Very interesting using one of the earlyer PowerBooks for the first time. The LCDs contrast seems to wash out sometimes but a tiny adjustment fixes it and seems to get more stable the longer it's...

I got one not long ago. Waaaaay out of date being "NOS" but worked a charm. Great printers these. :)

Thanks chaps for the info, very helpful. :beige:

As title just a quick question... Will the AC adapter designed for the PowerBook 100 work/fit on the 145b?
