Well, it works now. I have no idea why :) I removed the inner shell from the outer shell and cleaned everything and put it back to together...

No electrolytics on there that I can see... Just to clarify, the power button works perfectly, not overly sensitive or insensitive, seems totally fine. It's specifically the led that doesn't work when the shell is fitted...

I recently picked up a nice Cube, was holding out for one with good plastics for a long time, and finally picked up a good one. It needs a little work, optical drive is dead, no hd, but it boots. One thing that has me stumped is the power button led. When I first turned it on, it started right...

Just recently got this machine up and running, been fine for a few weeks with intermittent use. Now it's developed a problem where pressing a key on the keyboard locks up the ADB - mouse and keyboard become unresponsive. If I reconnect both, then the mouse works again until I press a key on the...

I have seen a couple of differently branded clones with that same case, so I have no idea who the oem was. PowerCity and Computer Warehouse (UK retailer of the time) Manhattan - if you google either of those you should find identical looking machines. CW machines as as far as I am aware used...

I should have updated this thread, but I got another replacement PSU as the fan wasn't running in the first replacement and I was a bit skeptical of it, and the mouse in question now works properly on the 800. I guess one/some of the outputs from the first replacement psu were marginal and that...

I bought another identical psu and the fan runs all the time, so I guess the first one is faulty somehow. I will open it up at some point and check it out.

I bought a used PSU (Magnetek 3390-20-001) from, I believe, an 8100 to replace the dead and unsalvageable PSU from a project Quadra 800 I have. It all works fine but the fan didn't run at all during my limited testing. Is the fan load/thermal operated on this PSU, or is mine faulty?

Completely ordinary M2706 ADB Mouse II, completely dead on my Quadra 800, works perfectly on my Quadra 700. I have swapped it over multiple times to make sure. Another identical mouse and an adjustable keyboard both work perfectly on the Q800. Q800 is a project machine, have it laid out on the...

Nice job! Six months or so ago I passed on a Quadra 700 that came with an accelerator that needed that driver, I spent a great deal of time effort to try and obtain a copy of it, to no avail. Pretty confident that your post is the only copy of it on the internet!

The floppy drive on my Quadra 700 was extremely stiff to inject/eject, such that the eject motor was stalling while trying to eject and I had to assist it with a paperclip in the hole. I took it apart and cleaned and lubed the mechanism and it worked ok very briefly before the infamous gear...

Darkside of the Mac had a Boids module that would have run fine on an SE...

I played around with 3d rendering when I was a kid on my LCIII, and kept it up for a while, now I work in industrial 3D, NX, Solidworks etc. The one I really want to try is MacBravo by Schlumberger, which I believe was something of a milestone in 3D cad user interfaces, purely because of being...

Excellent, I'll give it a go. Thanks!

Anyone able to steer me in the right direction? Having difficulty with this. I have tried a number of different 9.1/9.2/9.2.2 install media, including what I think is actual restore cd for this thing, albeit burned from image. All will boot, but the installer will not run - "This program cannot...
