One of the Quadra 605s, looks clean. Has a sticker from the 90s that says "Works", thats a good sign I suppose.

Cleaned up the ImageWriter II a bit. Edit: Still a bunch of shit in the grooves lol, oh well

I found another Quadra 610 in the mix bringing the number of good (non battery bombed) ones up to 4. What is the difference between the Quadra 605 and 610? I also opened up the other IIfx again and I think I was wrong about the board being bad. It looks like something on top of it leaked into...

Yeah thats what I mean, id rather just spend the money now and get a forever one. I just dont want to spend over 200 USD. I will look on amazon and see what I can find in the range of 50-150 dollars, whats selling fast with good ratings. I just don't trust ratings all the time as they can just...

Thanks guys do you have a recommendation for a soldering kit I could buy for working on electronics? I don't want the cheapest junk there is but i don't need the most professional setup either lol. I am ignorant to the prices on something like that ive checked ebay before and i find a bunch of...

Its difficult for someone who hasnt done alot of solder work to just "reflow the board". I am just trying to troubleshoot the easiest things first before I get to the more difficult things, which I am prepared to attempt. Being a contractor I deal with alot of people when I work on their houses...

I am simply talking and learning and ive been very appreciative and vocal about my appreciation

Yeah thats why I would never do that

I checked the back of the logic board and the power supply board with a bright light last night when i had it open they looked perfect i must have looked for 20 minutes thinking there was one but i couldnt find it. I took the white paper off the back of the analog board and everything, maybe its...

Nice. Too bad the screen is black on it, going to have to get it going. Could parts from an SE monitor be backwards compatible?

Here are some pics of the "128k" inside and the board. Someone mentioned that most were upgraded to 512k are these pictures sufficient to determine if its a 128k or a 512k? Also does anyone see anything that may cause the screen to not work? I know it could be bad solders probably is just trying...

I keep them out of most of my machines i just find this machine a pain in the ass to get to the battery. Here is the 3rd SE FDHD with the battery explosion i took pictures of the board what do you think? I think bad

I put the IIgs battery kit i found on ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/235645917276 in it and i put the holder sitting next to the HD. So all I have to do is take the cover off to change the battery.

Now I have the 128k with the same problem you fire it up and it has startup sounds but dead screen. Where do you recommend I start? I have no battery in it right now if that could be a reason, it has that oddball battery thats like a AA but the voltage is different.

I always thought it was strange how 2 of the same batteries could be kept in the same environment and 1 could have blew up 20 years ago and the other is still holding a charge after 38 years lol. On the SE Superdrive one i have there was a mint condition maxell in there lol lucky

Maybe the old battery was still good and holding settings? That would make sense, then when i cut it it reset the settings to default

I put the radius back in though and i remember hooking it up for sure so why would it work now? maybe i fucked it up lol

I tested the SE before I took it apart and it would turn on, red light for harddrive but a dead screen. I thought maybe if i take it apart and clean it up and clean the connectors put a new battery in maybe it will work. Well I got lucky I was right i put it all back together and the screen is...

I just found it browsing ebay one day for my IIgs i figured it would work the same. Would be cool to have it outside of the case too so you dont have to open it up. But then again it takes a few minutes to open it up, think ill just leave it inside as im keeping it anyway. Would be a good...

But all you have to do is change it right? What do you do for a battery? Did you solder one in or just buy a holder similar to the one I got? What is the normal
