Hi folks.
Got a color classic recently - powered it on and it chimed and gave the display of the flashing disk icon
the logic board was in a terrible state - amazed it even chimed.
recapped the board with tants and gave the board a much needed clean
put it back in and powered it on - chimed and display
took out the logic board and re inserted it a few times and the hard drive was working , booted all the way to desktop
powered it on later on and all i get is a grey screen ..BUT the machine boots to the desktop and plays some sound (same sound it played when it got to the desktop when the display worked)
so i have a CC thats working but the display is grey
i thought it would be the memory chips , but if that was the case then the machine would not continue with the boot
have not opened up the machine to even look at the analog board
am i just unlucky that after the recap initally worked , the analog board decided to act up !!
