So many people give up on these unfortunately, including me lol. Good job:)

I this turned out to be a dud. Processors are dead. At least a good video card. 256meg

Finally got around to putting this back together. I had to finish cutting down the heat sinks and making some mods to the base so the heat pipes would work from the processors. I also had replace a few caps on logic board. I broke off when removing lcs system, and another one had leakage which...

Doesn’t boot or anything. Just the chime. So weird, its a nice board

Yes, bought a new one from mouser.

Yeah this is museum grade. No discolouring etc. i added a 4 meg memory card, blue scsi, and a new battery. Glad i didnt need a hybrid. That would be a pain.

You rock! All good:) thanks for all your help on this.. means a lot to me and my collection:)

Ok, replaced the hc133 from a powerbook 100 that was known to be working. Unit has powered on with keyboard but it isnt perfect. Not sure if Battery is fully charged

I will check again. I know that two ends of the resistor touched to round pads on the diagram you posted. Will make sure it was actually the akd ok, so i get 5v at pin 16. I get some resistance from pin 9 to r189. I get nothing from r189 to akd.

So, tried a bunch of stuff. No change. Even without rom and memory this screen persists. Wondering if owner did something to it when he recapped it?

So i grabbed another g5 dual 2.7. It had a leaky lcs as usual. I was able to get off the cpu cards with no significant damage. Cleaned them up and put them in a known working g5 tower. It powers on, no odd lights. Fans stable, and mouse lights up. I don’t get a chime and nothing on the display...

So, good news. It works. So now what?? I tried the above. So anyways, not sure what needs to be done to fix it starting by keyboard??

Post some good quality pictures of the boards. Show me a good clear close up if the 270c I just did one last week or so

Ok. I did remove and clean it. Will check traces

Friend of mine has an se/30. He recapped it and cleaned it. Looks good. But turns on, chime, but black screen or weird screen. I removed and cleaned a few things up but no dice. Gets a good chime, but thats all. Will check voltages. I using a completely recapped se chassis so definitely logic...

Excellent:) sometimes something simple can cause a problem so hard to find. Mine was a bent memory pin on a 540, and once on s scsi connection lol.. glad you got it going!! Love these little beauties:)

Tell him to take a picture of the mac desktop and cut and fit it to the crt screen. Looks on, but isnt lol.. good grief why would you want it running all day.. oh well, cant control what people do with stuff you sell them

I would imagine it is, but havent tried. Maybe this weekend:) very interesting piece to have for sure. Glad it didnt end up at a recycling centre or stayed hidden in the garage for 20 more years

Yes, I consider myself lucky. Southern Ontario has a lot of people, and a lot of cities and towns. There seems to be always seems to be something popping up from the next town over to 3-4 hour drive away etc. sometimes the drive is definitely worth it. You never know when something is found in a...

Well, more like right time (was just listed) and was able to get it. Ontario, especially the greater Toronto area has lots of collectors so its who can get there first lol.. some people Will change the price after they get many responses thinking they priced it too cheap
