I think the logic board is probably ok, the analog board needs some kind of repair. The floppy clicks, but I have not tested further

If there is a hard drive I it, it does boot up. Otherwise it's gray screen with flashing floppy and pointer in the top left. It boots itself on regardless if a keyboard is attached or not. So for some reason it isn't waiting for the power button on the KB to be pressed. I replaced the caps on...

Thanks for the reply Doug, I did flush the chips with acetone and wipe the area up. I may remove the chips later, but I have a few other boards I'm working on simultaneously. I actually have what I believe is a different revision of the CC board I want to break back out and tackle now. This...

Must have had a cold solder joint on one of my ICs. Checked the voss in that area, they all checked out good so I decided to just touched up all the joints on all the ICs before removing any of them. Now it turns on. Need to throw an hd in the machine to actually function test it, but cursor...

I got all excited that this might fix mine too, but I have good continuity between those two points jumped above. Are there other common points on the cc that have this issue? Should the cc boot with or without a pram battery?

Apparently iPhone images don't auto rotate.

Rest of pics

I don't know if I have posted any finds before, but I thought this one was worth posting. Not for any positive reason, but to commiserate about the stupidity of those who don't know what hell they are doing, yet proceed without education. This is the worst case I have ever come accross. I...

Thanks guys. At least it sounds like even when it gets old it's still useful. I read that the flux separates etc. Has anyone tried adding more liquid flux and trying to mix it again? Or does the flux in there just turn to a gel like consistency?

Hi everyone, I have been interested in giving solder paste a shot for a while, but have been able to get by with wire solder, and been put off by the cost and shelf life of the paste. I bought a hot air station a few months ago for cap removal, and got plenty if good advice from the forum. I...

Thanks, It would actually be easier for me to just buy enough to either one at this point. I think I might have found the list for one of them anyway. 12 47uF 16v 3 470uF 16v axial 1 220 uF 16v axial

I am placing a cap order and have been looking for the list of what a Macintosh II requires for a while with no luck. Does anyone have a list handy?  The machine is in storage, so unfortunately I can't just go look.

How do these Macintosh II series monsters hold up over time from Caps and Batteries? They have two batteries don't they? Do they have a high success rate after new battery and recap?

How is the range? I have a cheap little usb nub bluetooth and I had to extend the stupid thing onto my desk for the keyboard to work flawlessly. Can you get several feet from it with the tower on the floor?

It doesn't appear that the unisdisk supports 3.5" emulation yet. Has anyone bought one yet? http://tulip-house.ddo.jp/DIGITAL/UNISDISK/english.html

That would be pretty cool to see. I have 2 of then I think. I can't remember of they are the same model or not. I need to hook up an old TV and see of they still work.

Im interested in a Plus 4, looking for a 16 too... Uniserver, did you grab any of those? I think both the sinclair and the Plus were pretty much only used with tape drives. That kit is interesting, but for that much money I think I would pay the extra and build an Apple 1 clone.

Did you finally get a IIGS? I had lost countless Atari xegs and commodore sx-64 on eBay.

Isn't there a loss of picture quality with vs. a IIGS RGB connection? This connection is just the composite video from the II(c/e/gs) into an AV input right?

Interesting for sure. Was that with a Compact Flash card, or does it not matter USB vs compact flash? Do you think the performance of your SCSI card would improve with a faster drive? If I'm not mistaken you have the fastest accelerator and the fastest SCSI card made for the IIGS right? I am...
