Ugh if that's the case, that's the 2nd one I have with this issue :-(  Never bothered to start looking for one here in EU.

Hey All, Got my hands on a Mac Classic II (G2) for €20, good deal no? So the fact is that the motherboard itself is in decent shape, I have cleaned it out and recapped everything before I even tried to turn it on (learned that the hard way on previous repairs) So after all this, I flick the...

I meant I bought the 400k floppies with the whole System 7 on there ;-) Is there a guide how to see if it's a superdrive?

Ok, so an update here. I've received the new RAM and plugged it in. On boot I receive a beep now, and I briefly see a mouse pointer. After that I get a floppy icon and afterwards I get this screen: So I tried formatting a 1.44MB drive and put system 7.0.5 on it, but no success. So now I...

Oh damn, I did it with WD40 since that's what I'm used to use on things that should move when they're not. I'll just see how it goes and I can change it out later.

About the RAM, that's strange I didn't know that I've never removed anything, are you sure I need 4? EDIT: I just ordered a 4x 1MB kit from eBay, let's see if this helps. Would you recommend a replacement or a fix for that hard drive?

Hello everyone, I'm recently new to the Mac SE and after previously (succesfully) recapping a Mac LC, I was thinking of fixing the SE's I have lying around. So this is the Original SE, NOT SE/30! I gave the board a wash & clean already (with isopropanol & cue-tips). But I'm still not...
