    Raccaped LC II, no shime, no sound, no video ...deadend?

    @MBehr thanks — it took a couple of years of practice :) I believe my issue is more on the hardware side, but I'll check on the other side @cheesestraws mate, I checked the specs and found that pin 15 is the RESET OUT from the EGRET. I added a push button at S1 on the logic board (which...

    Raccaped LC II, no shime, no sound, no video ...deadend?

    Hi everyone, I have an LC II, apparently in good shape — no battery damage, it was stored in a warm, dry place, and there’s no visible corrosion. The absence of the J9 IC seems to be normal in these boards. Pin 117 of the CPU is bent, but there is continuity. However, the capacitors near the...

    I got a Power PC 8600/200

    I was given a Power PC 8600/200. 'm not really passionate about these kinds of machines; they are heavy, the plastic is brittle, they are large and with a questionable design (they are ugly). I did not power it up. I could dissassble it, clean brush, replace caps (even if they look ok), check...

    How to bench test the all-in-one Macs?

    What are the best solutions when doing a bench test on all-in-one Macs? I found the following for the VGA connection: - from ConvertStuffUK for the Classic, SE/30, Plus - the solution from Adrian Black - Guruthree Video Converter - Caymac compact solution For the power supply, I'm thinking of...

    Cloning the IWM (sort of)

    from https://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/access/text/2024/08/102809005-05-01-acc.pdf An interview with Wendell Sander, page 20: "... Spicer: Yeah. Now one of the technologies that I want to talk about because you had a big role in it is the disk controller, and the IWM, which is the...

    Is my Performa 475 killing the VRAM?

    tha Thanks @Jockelill. I connected a jack and checked with a multimeter, but at boot I don’t measure any voltage difference (I don’t have a headset to test directly) when the chime should play. Instead, I just hear some squeaking noises. As I mentioned earlier, the sound was working fine right...

    Bombed LC475, can I reuse the on-board DRAM chips?

    @finkmac. Got it. Still, I think we’re not usually driven by rational decisions or economic logic. If saving money were the goal, we wouldn’t be buying rusty old junk—we’re driven by passion ;)

    Bombed LC475, can I reuse the on-board DRAM chips?

    This LB is gone, can I save the 8 x 2Mb RAM chips and create a 2MB 72 pins SIMM or a 30 pins SIMM? 2MB is not much, but maybe better than leaving them there. I can't find a PCB GitHub project for this scenario (Yes, I'll remove the CPU)

    Is my Performa 475 killing the VRAM?

    I found a (terribly) bombed LC475 with a different logic board, but the DFAC-II/ASC is the same. 9338XN, 343S0129-01, vs 48ACF5W, 343S0129-01 (the silent one). I plan to replace the 48ACF5W, 343S0129-01 (second in the list of attachments) with the 9338XN, 343S0129-01 (the first) I need to be...

    Monitor "high resolution"monocrome MO400 arcing

    thanks guys. Does anyone know if there are specifications that can help me find a replacement? Are there compatible flybacks? These original parts are really hard to find. +1 YAPJ ... Yet Another Piece of Junk? And, would this explain the incomplete vertical sync?

    Monitor "high resolution"monocrome MO400 arcing

    > Assuming the "hole" is the place circled in red in the initial photo, how does a short emerge from a part of the flyback where there are no wires? I probably wasn’t very clear before. The “hole” is right here in the pic – it’s at the spot where the arc kicks off and it actually goes through...

    Monitor "high resolution"monocrome MO400 arcing

    Also, there doesn’t seem to be much vertical deflection, as shown in the image below. I can see the bottom of the Mac desktop, and the images change when I drag the mouse downward, so the imaging circuits appear to be fine and the horizontal sync as well. From my limited experience with CRTs...

    Monitor "high resolution"monocrome MO400 arcing

    Thanks for this. The arc is between the flyback and the cage box around it; this is for sure. The line below is to emphasise the cage. I checked again after your remark. You were right, the arc originates from a hole I saw after further inspection. Can an epoxy impede the arc? But the coil is...

    Monitor "high resolution"monocrome MO400 arcing

    Is there any chance of replacing the flyback? Would an epoxy potting compound work to prevent the arcing? Time to say "RIP?"
