my clamshells airport wont work with anything but old apple base stations.  Even with no security my airport extremes wont let it connect.  Its why I keep an old grey saucer airport around to save on the hassle, considering it actually has the card fro that eras macs in it compatibility is a non...

you may need a third party hard drive utility to make it work.  The apple utility may not work.  My powerbook 540c didnt like the card I got until I used Hard Disk toolkit.  As they are not "apple branded" drives.

cleaning and a hair dryer to heat up the caps may allow it to boot.

logic board will need cleaning, capacitors replaced.  If the battery has not exploded it should be pretty repairable.  Same as the classic in that way.

I had a bunch of LC's, I just pulled one from there.  

Also the speaker itself on classic and classic II's have been proven to go bad.  they are kind of a pain as you have to drill the rivets out to replace.

There are adjustments inside the back cover on the analog board. Pretty easy fix, use a non metallic tool to turn them and turn a little at a time to get everything back to normal.

Most performas ar pretty dirty like that.  The vents leading in should be pretty dirty also.  Pretty easy to take off but will stay cleaner that way.

Those CRT's stay pretty clean. 

kernel panic?  The airport card could be the issue.  I have some 1.42's that freeze and airport is the issue.  Try booting from DVD/CD and disable airport, reboot into safe and shut it off and use ethernet if needed.  Removing the airport software all together does it also. If you can get it on...

Yes the 3400 has caps on the lcd itself, I did not write down the values or how many.  I was having no issues and was actually trying to figure if the motherboards were any good due to the pram battery leaking on the motherboard.  That whole upper panel is loaded with parts for the speakers in...

once the hard drive cove is unscrewed, lift tab and pull out on the bottom, if its stuck you must remove the back plastic surround, slide the sides and top off, unscrew the top and slide and remove, careful a ribbon cable with retainer is attached to it. then you should be able to reach inside...

really? isnt the LCIII and the 475 the same motherboard?  Been a while and I have swapped so many LC boards I dont remember.

the boards die from leaky capacitors, yet to see one die for any other reason.

You turned it into a G4? what speed? how? can you do it for me?

Nice!

the alert beep is clock date error that resolves itself.

Caps caps caps......  Capacitors need replaced.

old mac II video card radial caps go bad.  Super easy to replace.  Fixed 4 so far in the last few years.

Ya my color classic just now with cd player can control the external CD play, volume settings  and such but the internal speaker does not output.  I dont remember having external speakers before but I am not sure.
