These photos are after I put in a new toner cart. The one on the left is immediately after I installed it a few days ago. The one on the right is from tonight. Why is it suddenly printing dark streaks like this? I have the Apple service manual and can take it apart but am not sure what the...

I see, I'm going to disassemble it and see what I can see. It's too bad it went south so fast. Good thing I saved all the files on it.

Does anyone have one of these built for sale? There's no way I could build one myself.

LOL! Freezing it? I suppose that would work. The metal plates would contract and lose whatever adhesion there might be between the plates or the heads or the spindle drive? Worth a try. I love these types of unconventional ideas. Yes, it's too bad they stop working. Does anyone make a new...

I'm getting these error codes. SCSI error #5 Norton Disk Doctor error number 275 I found a document that says if I get a blinking drive light every second the HD is okay but the drive heads are not moving. It also said to shake the drive vigorously and reinstall and use a hair dryer. I...

Can anyone help with this problem I'm having? I received an SE last week and it has a 50MB Quantum internal HD. I immediately copied over all of the software that was on it to an external just in case. So I ran the SE with the internal fine for several days. I let it sit for a few days and...

Does anyone know where I can find a maul for this printer. I just got one off Ebay today and I can't figure it out. It doesn't have a cassette. My SE with SSW 6.0.8 sees it, I got one page to print from a word processor but I keep getting two messages on the SE: Either it says the cassette...

That's cool. Looks like there's a lot of old Mac fans out there. There's something about the Mac SE, they were from a simpler time I think. I remember my original and what I paid for it. I remember being a sysop in Idaho. That was fun. I miss the days of BBS's. I have a third party modem...

Not sure on either, I'll have to call him. Yeah, with the screwdriver the pucker factor can get kind of high. I'd hate to break one of these are they seem as rare as hen's teeth. But with a real IC extractor I don't think I'll have any problems. Gotta pull six and install three as his board...

I have a LaserWriter 360 Select coming for my Mac SE. I know this is a PostScript printer right? I heard that any PS printer can run on an SE. I have SSW 6.0.8 and don't want to go to SSW 7.xx. Will it print? I have never used a LaserWriter on an SE before. It's supposed to plug into the...

Hi Volvo, I think he said his was the same soldered battery and it was cut off. Will have to wait till I see it. Besides, I have an IC extractor coming from Ebay and it's not too difficult to remove the ROM chips right? I've done it many times in the past using a screwdriver (yikes!) but it...

Hi Ike, thank you for the quick reply to my questions. This is THE place to be it looks like. This is good news to me. I appreciate it. There is a guy here named 24bit who told me about this site. Glad I could finally join today. :)

This is my first post. All I can say is I'm amazed. You guys here really know your stuff. I have electronics training from the Air Force but not like the stuff you guys do. I bought a Mac SE,1 MB RAM, 2x 800K way back when they were new. Sold it a long time ago and now getting back into it...
