I have a 48k Apple ][+ with a Z80 and ROM switch card (with original Apple ][ ROMs installed on the card), however, I do not have a language card at the moment. The computer works for the most part, but every so often, it gives me some graphical glitches. It's usually fine for the first hour or...

Fixed! The pins on the encoder board were dirty.

Recently, I got an Apple ][ Plus in externally decent condition, but internally not so great (lots of dirt and debris, some corrosion on the motherboard). I've replaced the motherboard (tested to work, and boots). The old motherboard has no video signal whatsoever, no beep (did beep for a bit...

It's working now. No idea why. Still need to fix the keyboard. All of the come pads have deteriorated, so they'll need to be replaced. Does anyone know where I can find them?

Thanks! The machine booted after swapping the first chip! Then, after repeated testing, it went right back to what it was doing before. Weirdly, the first chip I swapped looked to be Apple-branded. Don't know if this is important, but all the RAM chips are ceramic cases, and the one at F6 is...

Just picked up a Franklin ACE 1000 and I have an issue. The computer powers with a screen full of garbage (various random characters, many inverted, with a few random solid and checkered blocks mixed in), and will beep on power-up most of the time (every so often it's silent). Usually hitting...

OK! Figured it out. It was the 558 all along! I could have sworn that I tested it in another board, but I guess not. Anyway, Thanks for the help.

Unfortunately, the joystick is not responding properly on this computer. However, it does on the 4 other Apple IIs mentioned. Also, MECC is recognizing the stick on the other computers as well. On this machine, I can get it to go left, up, and down, but left to its own, the computer thinks...

Overall, the computer boots, loads programs, passes self-test, and performs very well, but with one small exception. The joystick (a 9-pin CH Mach III I believe) isn't being recognized properly. The board has had some (rather sloppy) work done to it. All of the RAM sockets, as well as the...

So I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this since the monitor is technically a Mac accessory, but I use it with my SE, so here it goes.   I have a Mobius branded legal page monitor that has sat in a storage unit for the past decade.  I finally pulled it out and hooked it up, but all...

It seems pretty secure (in that it doesn't come off unless I take it off), but I do move it on occasion.  So a few dots of hot glue sounds good for peace of mind if nothing else.  Thanks again.   :-)

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!  That did work.  Now I feel like bit of an idiot for overlooking something so obvious.   However, that little bit did break off.  Is that something I should be worried about?  Could the anode come loose or cause damage?  Or am I OK now, and can I finally sit back and enjoy...

So I might be SOL here, but I'm going to ask anyway (and hope for a miracle).  In an attempt to replace the fan in my SE, I detached the anode from the CRT so I could work on the board.  Everything went well.  The new fan works.  However, when I was reattaching the CRT, the tip from one of the...

Never mind.  I must have knocked the resisters I soldered loose when I was cleaning the flux off the board.  That will teach me not to check my work!

Spoke too soon.  Now I have no sound and no video.

Update: First, Elemenoh, You were absolutely right!!!  I managed to get some 682 and 204 resisters, soldered them in (lost one since I suck at micro soldering) recapped the board, and plugged it in.  It powered on and booted, but no sound.  So I checked continuity and found a broken trace...

Thank you!  I wasn't sure because of the font, but after comparing it to the pictures of my board, I think you're right. I think I'm going to check with my local electronics store first, but thank you for the link.  Now, one way or the other I'm getting my LC back!   :-)  

I have checked them out, but I've had some trouble identifying the product I need.  I think the markings on the 582 indicate a value of 5.8 kΩ, however, the images on their site are unmarked.  Also, they didn't seem to have any stock from the results that came up.  I also checked out Mouser with...

Thanks for pointing them out.  I actually hadn't before, but from what I could see, they, unfortunately, don't have them.

So sorry for the lack of update, but I've been looking for the replacement resisters for a while now with no luck.  Does anyone know where I can find 582 and 204 surface mount resisters?  The former seems to be the hardest to locate.  My local electronics store has the 204s, but I'd prefer to...
