Okay, I've got the logic board out and apart from a little dust, it looks pretty good. Nothing dubious, unfortunately. There may be a little tarnishing on the big white piece that connects to the rest of the computer. My father is recommending that I use his contact cleaner (metal contacts...

Let me know if you think of something to do with your Quadra case - I have a bunch of Compact cases that I'd love to do something constructive with and am looking for ideas. I'm thinking of a portable, powerful battery-operable stereo system which could be really cool with the handle and enough...

Fantastic, thank you. To clarify, I hear the noise as soon as I switch the master switch on the back of the unit. I hear and see no difference when I press the soft-power key on the keyboard. I guess this means logic board. I will inspect the logic board, and probably post a picture (due to my...

Thanks for the help. I did try it with two sets of ADB keyboards and mice, both which I know work with my Classic, SE and SE/30. Why are you guys assuming that it is the logic board and not the analog board? The fan doesn't even start up, although I do hear the CRT trying to start - so I am...

Terrible news. I opened the CC, took out the PRAM battery. I tested it and the battery was absolutley dead. I put in a new, known-good battery, closed her up and tried to boot. I still hear the CRT sound when I flip the master switch on the back but then, nothing. The lights on my ADBII...

Yeah, this CC is so beautiful that i'll expend any effort to coax it back to life - it will really be in mint condition at that point. I've actually lost interest in my other compacts with the CC around; it really shows them up aesthetically. My local microcenter apparently has the 3.6v half...

I live in Lexington. I won't say where, but there is a woman in a nearby town who has an entire basement full of all old macs, peripherals and software you guys would drool over. She wouldn't sell me her SE with Asante Ethernet or her complete Macintosh 128k with box and everything! Does...

I didn't know! I've only been working with the Classics and SEs, and forgot about that function! But, it still doesn't work. I'm definitely hearing the CRT power on to some degree, so does this mean the power supply is working? Can the power supply be partially working? I'd really rather not gut...

Of course I would not throw out the Color Classic! Its the compact i've been dreaming of for months! If i can get it working, Mike Richardson, I'd very much like to buy the PDS ethernet card on your website. Very cool website. The Stylewriter has the box, power supply and attachment cable. If...

Yesterday I went to a beautiful horse farm in Massachusetts and picked up a dead Color Classic in 9/10 cosmetic condition (more on that in the Compact Macs form). It also came with a ZOOM V.32bis modem (2 phone jacks and a parallel looking jack that has a cable that ends in Appletalk) and Color...

Hi folks, I just picked up a dead Color Classic which is cosmetically in nearly 10/10 condition - no yellowing, still has the qucktime sticker, everything! Unfortunatley, it does not turn on. The man I bought it from (who runs a horse farm!) said that it was working perfectly last year, but...

Great, thank you very much. How will I know which capacitors to replace, and what to replace them with? Is there any guide or website anyone can refer me to so that I can understand what I'm doing once I open it up? I'll make sure to discharge the CRT. What would be a good thing to clean the...

How did you get the OS to install from the startup disk you made with 608sysad.exe? I made the startup disk with it, but when I try to boot the computer with the disk, it keeps spitting it out, even if I hold down the mouse button. When the computer starts, the disk shows up as "startup disk,"...

No, the clock battery appears to be dead. Same as my classic. I will have to deal with that. I feel like such a fool, thank you, I just loaded the memory control panel and it says 5mb built-in, go up to 11mb restart. Curiously though, as many times as I restart, it never goes above the 5mb...

Hello all, After fooling around with a Classic running 6.0.8, I finally found an SE/30 in seemingly nice condition so I snagged it. Being used to 8mhz and 2mb of RAM, I thought the SE/30 would be a lot faster, but its way slower and the way it runs makes me nervous compared to the classic. It...
