I actually have a Apple IIe with a monitor. No disk drives or card so I can’t even connect my floppy emu to it. So all I’ve ever done with it is mess around in basic.

Really it was my poor soldering skills, I neglected to buy solder braid and the solder iron I was using was too hefty for what I was trying to do. It got the job done on the analog board but made the precise work on the dominator a nightmare. I don’t understand why you can pay like an extra...

Its a great discussion piece, but I feel like the 90s didn’t treat these macs that well. Computers basically sort of exploded into a new era of GUIs and high performance, part of which was caused by the Mac. It left those who paid the hefty price for these things in the dust as they quickly...

I actually tried system 7.5.5 to try running Mac web. Will admit system 6.0.8 is a lot faster but it does lack support for some programs I wanted to run.

Will do! I recently tried getting it to run Mac web but for some reason I couldn’t getting my raspberry pi to properly receive the income serial connection from the rs232 to usb adaptor I was using. If I had to guess it’s either the adaptor or the version of raspian I wasn’t very supportive of...

I got this Mac-Plus on ebay a few years back for around 200$. It came with the manual, an Imagewriter II, and a Hard drive, and basically everything you would need. . It came with 1MB of memory but I upgraded it to 4MB after the memory failed. Although it had no issues I replaced all the...

I have had many issues with memory. Once I got a Plus computer off eBay with weird lines going down the screen. I knew the machine worked because the floppy icon was visible. I assumed it was the Analog board had leaking caps. So when i replaced them I tried just about everything even cleaning...

ALSO, it may be the Memory. But always recap first. If that does not fix it. Then I would recommend replacing the memory with compatible new ones. Because it's not passing post...

It's not too hard to solder is only 14 but I've done it... Just ask the form for what type of solder and solder iron you need. They will always be happy to help... I even show you this Old VHS video I used to help me learn. 

It's not Analog related... And if its passing POST it may be the Logic board. Have you inspected the restart and interrupt buttons? Try using them, or inspecting to make sure they are not stuck.    

I goto into this quite a few years ago so I can't remember quite how I did. I've been on the computer most of my life So I've got quite good at typing and knowing how they work.  But I remember really getting into it when I took apart a broken vacuum cleaner. Later I then got into collecting...

I'm only 14 (yes really) and  I've handled multiple CRTs in my spare time. I know the dangers and issues that can occur while around these screens. The first issue is that they can hold sometimes lethal charges. Its sometimes debated over how "lethal" these charges can be. But its generally...

Great news everyone I got it working. I had to use a temperature set solder iron but with the right type of solder, it worked fine! Now it boots up in 3 seconds instead of minutes.  I also plan to do a Caps replacement repair in early 2020!

What should I set the temperature on the iron?  I also decided to purchase a massive set of caps to replace the old ones with. This will be my first repair of this scale!

Ok, update : I'm going to the hardware store tomorrow and getting a Temp Controlled solder iron with a grounding plug if possible, some rosin core solder that contains lead, and solder wick. I also have the tools to open it already and am prepared to discharge it. 

I found out it works after you give the machine some time to heat up I bet this is caused by the solder joints heating up and expanding. Good news It works Fine. In the meantime I even got the printer working!

So I need an iron with Temp controls, some solder that contains lead and possibly some solder wick?  What is the price range for all of this?

 I got a macintosh plus off of eBay for about 400$. The owner said it was working when he sent it but when it arrived it seems to have broken solder joints. He may have lied or it got damaged in shipping for some reason. The picture appears for just a split second when thumping it on the side. I...

I have a plan 1 New Capacitors 2 New flyback 3 New mask + Trace patches I will try what I can to save it because I can't afford a new board. Any other things you suggest?
