Also another thing to add is after the bars go away and the computer is warmed up I am able to restart it and have no problems. It's just having trouble with the cold starts I don't know why. All of my analog boards are working fine I make sure to test them with known working motherboard of a...

Hello everyone! While I'm waiting for the tools to fix the other 128k I have another 128k in need of attention. When I power this one on for the first 30 seconds to a minute or so it displays this pattern on the screen. Any ideas? I already replaced the caps with another questionable broken mac...

Wow that's really smart! Thanks for the awesome tip!

Yes I prefer having the original amount of ram I was surprised when I opened it to see it was not upgraded with a 400k floppy. Thanks for the advice. I guess I'll just replace all of the ram chps without the sockets to prevent any future issues with it.

Wow I just noticed my triple post :0 my apologies on that. It's difficult to be using a iPhone to do all of this stuff haha. I will try to not do that again

Wow thank you for all of this useful information! Yes I remember reading that Apple branded chips were horrible and I guess I will change all of them then. Yes I want to keep this thing as original as possible so I'm debating if I shoud use the sockets I have or just put the chips in directly...

Ok I will practice on a junk analog first. Thanks for the advice

Yeah I watched a video on YouTube of someone using one. It shouldn't be that hard to do. I hope Should I use flux with it?

Oh great... Well it was cheep and I guess it will get the job done for just 1 chip that's all I need it to do (I hope)

Thanks for the tip! I just ordered one and I will let you guys know how it goes! It looks super useful! I have another 2 boards also that I think are toast.

Wow that sounds awesome! I will have to get one of those! I will be able to use it for future things as well. Thanks for the tip!

Ok reseating the Rom chip didn't help. The startup bong doesn't sound healthy which makes me think the only source could be ram. I have these 16 pin sockets which I can use on it.

Oh god. I inspected the motherboard and I don't see any visual bad spots. I am done helping cover the pool so I can talk again. I am going to try and re-seat the rom chips and see if there is a change.

I am going to be a little delayed on Replies I am helping cover the pool now.

Alright with a socket I wouldn't be able to solder from the chip side anyway. It am going to need to find a good way to remove these without damaging the traces. I have a good iron and flux but I can borrow things from my uncle. What do you think is the best tool to remove these chips with?

Wow thanks for everyone helping me on this! I didn't realize I would get this kind of support from people. I looked on eBay and saw they are $6 a piece :-/ http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=381024802658 I have removed the ram on these before but I used hot air and...

Yes I remember reading about that also. And probably if I replace this one I heard that it has the possibility of giving me another error code from another bad chip that the test wasn't even able to get to yet. I will let you know what I am able to find once it is replaced. Thanks again for...
