I would question whether or not anyone at an Apple store could even tell you what "CRT" stands for...
Nevermind I had to cancel
But I still need to fix this. I might need to get a new analog board
I haven't replaced anything yet, I haven't seen any references to this machine. I have neither of those, I have a classic
Why do I keep thinking you have an SE!? Sorry.
Your right, there arent alot of documents on the classic or classic II (but im told they are pretty similar to the SE even interchangeable) hopefully someone can comment on that.
First thing you want to do is right down the values of every electrolytic cap and order them on say digikey or some other site, shouldnt cost all that much (I would get two of each just in case, these components are pretty cheap)
My classic analog board had battery acid cause the caps to leak.. So the traces are good but all caps were bad (whole board smells of bad fish) Im still cleaning it and I have replaced most of the caps already. Hopefully that will do the task.. I cannot test it until I get a new logic board as the bad battery completely destroyed it... it was corroded all the way through in many places.
Anyone on here have a classic logic board to sell? I think its part number 820-0390-03
but retro rider, that is the first thing you should do. Have experience soldering/desoldering?

Firstly, yes, also, no, the SE parts aren't very interchangeable (Except the floppy drive or HD). Also, Would you mean what it is like 'dc2' bc idk if it would come up on digikey. Also, I have no experience with soldering/desoldering.
PS: you should post your logic board wanted ad on the trade section
I just used that as an example, idk if that is really on there. Since I would need a new board, where can I get one? Preferably for cheap. I have 2 so maybe I can practice on one and do the repair on the other.
cheap?

neither is cheap, but you need to hunt around.

What about recapping services? I think I've heard about those. They'll probably recap an analog board.
I have 2 motherboards that I could maybe give to you but one of them, the capacitors are definitely dead and the other is one I’m kinda hesitant of mailing
mmm, the good thing is I got something working right now, I replaced the hard drive from the classic and it worked on my SE/30 which is the only one that works. But I still really, really want this to work. One reason is that the hard drive came from the classic and also the case. I got a project I'm doing about old macs and told the teacher I'll bring in some (my SE/30 and Macintosh portable) that work.
