Mac Plus Display Line

[funkytoad]

So I have two non-booting Mac Pluses.

One has no OS and the other has a vertical line going down the screen. What would be the cause of this, can I fix it?

Thanks,

I don't know about the Plus, but on the SE and SE/30 that typically indicated a bad solder joint on the analog board.

I have the same problem on my Mac 128k... its the analog board....I think you can fix it by re-soldering something or replacing a specific capacitor....

Very common problem. Either bad solder joints or a dead capacitor are the typical causes.
