Very nice! Now as soon as I can figure out how to remove the chips we will be good. as I don't have a hot air station...

Interesting......I would have never gave that a thought.....So I have a Performa 475 that does the same thing, Chimes of death after start up chime. I also noticed what Snake88 was talking about with being under the cap....I found two pots that looked green/corroded. Hmmm.....Now I wonder if...

So I hooked it back to the LCD monitor and the sound issue has seemed to  fix itself. Maybe it was because it has been sitting for a few months with no use or what. But the sound issue is no longer a problem. However after that machine is turned on for the first time of a day it starts perfectly...

Ok so I swapped out PSU's and the LCii did not start up. So I put the other PSU back in and it still did not start up. Fan spun, HDD spun up but that's it. So I unplugged the HDD and then the machine bonged and screen came on. Turned it off and plugged in the HDD and started it up. It started up...

Thank you for your reply. I will swap out PSU's and see if there is any change. I actually thought the same thing but didn't think that could cause that but its worth a shot. And the computers have all been recapped but the PUS's have not been. I have only had to recap one PSU thus far. I have...

Hey there. So I decided to take out my Mac LC's and play with them...Its been a while since and I found out that they do not like to sit for periods of time with no use. Two of the Macs had stuck HDD's, but a quick flick of the wrist with the HDD in hand fixed those issues. One LCii developed a...

I just checked out the chips. They are not the same. A bigger chip is in the Performa. That's kind of a bummer.

Thanx Mitch for your advice and your information. It does give me hope for that LC as I would really like to get it working fully. It does but no sound. Macs need sound lol. Part of the fun of the Macintoshes. I have had practice with re-flowing solder as I have done that to Video cards for...

Glad you got the machine to sound again. I as well think the chip is the reason my LC does not sound. Was it a very hard task? I have never done a chip replacement before. So that makes me want to try and replace the chip on my computer. Would a sound chip from a Macintosh Performa 475 work on a...

Mine has the LED.

I as well have the exact same issue with a Performa 475 although mine worked perfectly and I was using it, turned it off then on at a different time and this issue started to happen. Recapped it and still same issue. I believe this to be a memory issue though as others have mentioned that a...

Greetings. Did you ever figure out what happened? I as well have an LC that has a very faint chime, but just a Macintosh LC. As you mentioned I can only hear sound when my ear is up to the speaker or I have powered speakers plugged into the 3.5mm jack and the volume all the way up on the...

I just noticed as well that when playing an audio CD I have no sound being heard through the computer. Its reading the disk just fine. Any ideas as to why this may be??

Thank you Macdrone for your input. As I was not able to find a driver specifically for Pioneer products I however was able to use CD Toolkit and it seems to mount and work for all disks.

Hello there.  I have a question with something. I'm trying to hook up an external CD Rom drive to a Macintosh Performa 476. I'm thinking I might just need a driver but not sure. The Macintosh can see the CD drive as when I use SCSI Info it lists is as a Pioneer CD-Rom DR-124x. However, there is...

Apple IIgs all the way. Our school got these new prior to the LC's and I though they were just the coolest thing. TONS of cool games for these plus color and sweet sound. Not to bit of a fan of single color displays or black and white. Just my pref. :p Still have yet to get my hands on a...

I will have to hunt down some more apps that report system specs and such. Thanx for the ideas in what to look for. Hopefully I am able to still find these and down load them.

The other day, thanx to uniserver's tips and faith, I sucessfully OC'd three Macintosh LC III's all to 33 mhz and boy let me tell you...You really can see and feel the difference with everything. Robotron is 10x faster than before, tech tool pro loads quicker as well as the machine boots and...

Hmm. there are some markigs on the back now that you mention it. I had it in two different macs, an LC II and an LC III, both can see it but gives an error almost immediatly when selecting ethertalk, and then reverts back to local talk. Tech tool pro did not identify the card in the...

I will have to see if I can find a link and download the slotinfo app. Maybe Macintosh Garden? I do have tech tool pro installed on pretty much every one of my macs. I didnt think to check there. I will do that tonight when I get home from work. Thanx for the tip :)
