If you read in the manual (which I also have), they would send you a copy of the original if your machine did not support their new color version....if you begged them! My disks somehow became lost. I need to find a copy, too.

I’ve had alkaline AAs and the sort go bad in weeks even, agree. Never seen these do that. Everyone’s experience may vary.

Here's my thought: these machines ran for 20+ years without battery explosions. It is not like there was some massive recall in the 90s because of SEs being rendered unusable because of battery explosions. If you put a new one in there, it won't blow tomorrow. It will likely be twenty years...

LOL wouldn't that just be the case?? Yes, you could use it as a standalone with the dock.

I had a feeling. If you don’t wind up needing it, I’d pay good money for the 2300c. The one I have had since it was new has needed a new screen for over twenty years!

You'd be surprised. Show us what it looks like. Years ago, I salvaged mine: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/se-fdhd-estate-sale.33606/ https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/se-fdhd-restoration.33631/

The easy, quick and dirty method: 1. Start your machine and listen for the startup chime. 2. Press Command-control-power key to restart the machine. The memory test will be bypassed.

This happens quite often.

If you happen to not need one of the 605s, let me know, I’m interested!

It was your hard work! I did take my time on my SE that was battery bombed and was able to get it going again. Also used evaporust for the chassis which I think I passed on. Stuff works great!

Had cable since 2000. Never used anything else since. I still have my Blockbuster shirt and name tag in storage somewhere.

This is unfortunate.

The nub batteries are too big end to end to close the case when you are done. Usually the place you get the batteries at will tack weld strips on for you (at least they will here).

The ones that don’t have incorrectly placed apostrophes in their names :p

This is a great project no matter what!

It’s more that whole bit of transferring files is easier if I can just stick the SD card into an old Mac that already has the files I need. I know, I’m the exception here!

I’d pay big money if you could get it to read SD cards with GUID mapping and MacOS Extended formatting .P
