So long as it works, I don't care what it's called. [:D] ]'> Yes?

I appreciate the very generous offer you have made. However, I would feel much better if I could pay you for the board and your time to check it out. If you can agree to this, then I would also like to know if you have an additional floppie drive for this machine. I have replaced mine 2-3...

Hey Beachy, I used to be NASA Certified with regard to soldering, so I could probably replace these caps without lifting the pads, but I can't really say with any degree of certainy, if they are bad, or just look bad. Part B is finding decent replacements. Denatured alcohol would clean them...

Here are the results from todays efforts to revive my Q610. I checked the power supply voltage by taking readings on several capacitors and connectors from the PS. Most checks revealed voltages at or slightly over +5 VDC. I am not aware of which capacitors you refer to as the notorious...

Hello Tom, I'll do just as you suggest. I really don't want to give up on this wonderful computer, so I will follow each of your instructions to the letter. I have quite a bit of PCB experience as I was occupied as a EE tech working my way through college. This will come in handy. I will do...

Bad News to report. I have given up on trying to resurrect my Quadra. I am also all out of candles and incense. I was willing to try anything to bring it back to life. In addition, all of my bad dreams end with, you guessed it, the 'Chime of Death'. Woe is me. In all seriousness, I truly...

Thanks, Kyle. I'll do all of that tomorrow and get back to you. I appreciate all the help. Have a good evening.

Tyler, Thanks for that bit of info. I just hope I can find one. I know tomorrow. Take care.

Thanks for that bit of info. I'll have to look again, but I thought I saw some printing on the battery that said '0.5V' or something similar. Maybe that's what the 'Half-AA' means that you referred to. I thought that that was pretty weird, but this is all new to me. I just hope I can get...

Kyle, I pulled the RAM and re-seated it - twice! Nothing. Battery voltage approx. 0.009 VDC. Can you recommend a place I could find a replacement battery? I did not see any rust but that does not mean that there isn't any because it doesn't take much to cause a problem on a PCB. The PCB...

Kyle, Thank you very, very much for your very prompt reply. I really appreciate your comments. I used this computer to get through college and I really hate to give it away. I really miss the great games I had (have) on it, the C/C++ lanuages and so on. I was really afraid that those odd...

I was preparing my old Quadra 610 to give away to a needy family, but things are not going so well. Does anyone remember what it means if right after the start-up chime you hear sounds similar to what a xylophone makes? The last time I remember playing with this computer, the disk drive was...
