    White haze all over bottom of logic board?

    you're welcome. It's always recommended when cleaning flux and other such nonsense off boards, to wipe away the alcohol or other solvents so the impurities don't stay on the board

    My 2.4GHz wireless mouse works strangely in Mac OS 9..

    process of elimination, disable extensions until the problem stops, then re-enable them until the problem comes back, then you should know what extension(s) are causing this

    White haze all over bottom of logic board?

    It might be impurities in the IPA, try using a paper towel to soak up the IPA and see if the haze comes back after doing that EDIT: someone figured it out, ignore me as I'm not experienced in this DOUBLE EDIT: nvm

    After Dark Super Slow

    install Conflict Catcher, should help you figure out what's causing After Dark to be slow. It helped me figure out that one of my Open Transport extensions went bad

    ASTEC power supply.

    recap them or get them recapped as soon as you can

    APS DaTerm Digital Active Termination drive

    jeez, wonder if the LED being smashed was shipping damage

    Some old rusty SE's to fix

    no reason why it shouldn't work without a math coprocessor, I'd check the voltages, and if everything's good there, open it and look for capacitor leakage and battery leakage

    Farallon LocalPath

    link? I might upload it to the Macintosh Repository, so I can download it on my LC III, would be cool to share internet connection to powerbooks or Macs that don't exactly have ethernet, or vice versa

    128K Screen saver ?

    probably broke records for compacts, if not set by somebody using one as a localtalk/appletalk server

    Color Classic logic board C8 capacitor question

    if the color classic works without it, it's probably just a capacitor between one of the voltage rails and ground to make sure it isn't below a certain nominal voltage

    ASTEC power supply.

    have they been recapped?

    128K Screen saver ?

    yeah you'd have to upgrade it to at least 512k to use AfterDark/DarkSide

    Fixing broken OpenTransport on 8.1?

    any time

    PowerBook battery capacity wrong

    if the capacity is reported wrong, then the battery's cooked. Solution is to either replace the cells of the battery, which are just 18650s, or buy a new battery if soldering batteries scares you

    Fixing broken OpenTransport on 8.1?

    just delete the offending extensions, and use the "custom install" mode on the Mac OS 8.1 installer. I had to do something like this on my LC III

    Plus keyboard doesn't work?

    make sure the cable isn't a regular phone cable, otherwise you have an expensive keyboard shaped paperweight

    Daniël's PowerPC BGA chip swaps

    best guess, it's probably a spacer for the chip
  18. Nixontheknight

    Will a modern Mac (Studio running MacOS 14.5) read a Mac 1.44 floppy?

    it should be able to if it's formatted in HFS, if it's formatted in MFS, it will not read it
  19. Nixontheknight

    Daniël's PowerPC BGA chip swaps

    They're probably FPGAs or CPLDs, so I imagine some LSI voodoo to make the 64-bit bus of the CPU work with the 32-bit bus of the motherboard

    TOPS Emulation?

    Do you mean the PenLite?
