Cracked solder joints at the cable connections (Yoke/CRT and Analog to Motherboard connectors), and certain areas about the high voltage circuit like the cap and flyback transformer. But do not just add solder or reheat the joint. You need to remove the old solder, clean up the board and...

It depends heavily on how much RAM you have in the system. Under 16MB, System 6.08 or 6.09.  Greater than 16MB, System 7.1. System 7.5 - 7.6.1 I find laggy on the IIci, even after using a PowerPC/Fat checker to remove what PPC might be floating about the OS.

A lot of times with these old systems (Macs, PC, even VCRs and TV; and one time I seen it on a washing machine!), Bad caps on the logic/mother board can keep a system from turning on. this would make you think that the PSU is bad when it is not the case. But with these little LC PSUs, it's a...

I tend to over voltage my caps, if it says 25V, I'll put in a 30V or 35V cap but nothing more than 15% over. When I did the PSU on my LCs, even if I were stuck with same voltage caps, they were too big in size. But looking over the list on the website after my orders and receiving the caps...

I use a CF Card (16GB or bigger) with a CF Adapter on my Wallstreet and other PPC/G3/G4 powerbooks and iBooks. You will need a Single CF to IDE Adapter, the Double CF one will not work, and of course the CF. You will need to do some surgery to the adapter by removing one of the pins, (I think...

Recapping a board (and power supply) is an all or nothing endeavor. You can not just "replace some of the caps" and think it will work. It also sounds like you are skipping a lot of steps too. - When you removed the caps, even though you did not lift a trace, did you check the connections? -...

How is the Toshiba PSU connected to it? Check your connection and your PSU, I do not think it is strong enough to run a IIc. The IIc needs 12 - 15 volts, you can run off a Lead Gel Battery if in a pinch. It is a Power Hog. Check.this video out:  Includes a pin out for the power port for you...

Not to be a sicko perv about it, but a Lasagna aluminum pan with a sex toy vibrator glued to the side of it can so this. Pour in the liquid put in the board and turn on the vibrator. It's not at Ultrasonic frequencies but it will get the job done. I done it before for electronics, bike parts and...

I had a SE with that accelerator, Unknown_K, it make it wickedly fast! It's lost to the Sands of Time now... My Current Compacts Macs are the Plus, Mac Classic II, and SE/30. The SE30 does live up to the hype. To get another  Mac version of it you would need a Mac IIx, IIcx or LC III with a...

I have not done Apple II/II+ repairs in years but try the following Diags: 1) Like Jack stated, remove the Disk II card out the Apple and turn it on. It should Boot to BASIC with ']' and a flashing cursor. 2) Type. does the keyboard work? With the cover open feel the bottom rear of the...

I never had luck with such test programs, because they test on a Hard Drive's Large Block Data Transfers and CFs used as SSDs tend to do short block transfers, which during the tests comes up with really weird results of the SSD being a lot slower than a hard drive, but when you see the system...

I have used a 1GB PCMCIA Flash Memory card from SanDisk (similar to this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sandisk-110MB-PCMCIA-ATA-Industrial-Flash-Memory-Card-68pins/300832545667) and I have used CF in a PCMCIA Adapter (like this one...

Correct on all counts. My only concern if losing the file headers (File type & Creator attributes) on these files if you are using a PC. There are ways to get them back if you know the file's attributes. The program Utility Dog can do this as a batch job - set up a folder, set up the files...

As mentioned before, use the Apple Printer cable (The Imaginewriter II cable) and set up LocalTalk / AppleTalk on the two machines. The Apple printer cable will have a tiny printer icon on it, the serial cable would just have a blank area.

Opps! The IIc and IIc+ uses the same mouse that the Apple IIe (with a card) and Mac 128 - Plus used. I thought the IIc+ used an ADB Mouse, but I am mistaken.

Right on all counts, Gorgonops. Starting from the ROM 0, as I remember, there is a large Chip on the logic board similar to the Mac LC's Glue chip which is not in the ROM '255.' I believe this is where a lot of the CPU Intensive I/O is done and the 65C02 is left alone. But also, the ROM 0 has...

Like my 1400, I use a CF in my 5300ce and 190 powerbooks when their hard drives failed failed long ago. It is the same set up as in my 1400, though I put it in a paper wrapper and taped it down so it would not shot out against the case. Check out...

That's the standard Apple Protection for the powerbooks on System 7 & 8 (which is rarely used). I have set up on my 5300 and G3 Wallstreet. The password is in an invisible file in the System (I think System Prefs). Delete it and the extension preferences and it will boot up without a password.

Replace those caps as soon as possible. And clean up the crud off the board. I also noticed that there are a couple of bend pins on cpu. Straighten them out slowly and carefully so that they are not touching.

This is great work you did here! Very informative! Makes me want to go back to my LC III and 475 and give them another look over as of all the machines I recapped, these two are the only ones that I could not bring back. Love that you added heatsinks, and even threw in an FPU to that empty...
