MACINTOSH COLOR CLASSIC TURN UP HELP!!!

are you in the US?  they got decent multimeters at Wal-Mart for cheap.

They also have decent multimeters at Harbor Freight too,  if you are only looking to spend 10-15 bucks.

Otherwise get someone you know to buy a Fluke for your Christmas or Birthday present.

Well, the traces look fixable.  I'm a little worried about the 68030 in that first picture.  Looks like you'll need a new fuse, new microphone and audio jacks, and whatever that box thingy is.

 
How will i get the box thingy and all the traces done? How can i fic the traces? Did these traces break because of baking it?

 
Can i not send it to any of you who know it well how to deal with it ? Ive heard uniserver does it everyday? How

Much would

You charge me and everything .. I just want it working.. If these cc were alot to be bought then i wouldve tried my techniques on it but as its very rare, i really dont wana kill it .. How much would it be and i also have se/30 board to be fixed .. Replay asap please

 
Does the board all properly work? I am from UK but i dont mind paying the postage afterall you are doing so much for me ..

 
hi rollermanz

Im over in Ireland.

Would be glad to have a look at all 3 boards for you. Ive recapped about 40 macs now.

What happened - that looks like something blew when it was plugged in

come on.... did you plug it in and not leave it dry long enough!!!!

most of the damage looks like straight forward fix. I have old boards to replace the mic and headphone

what temp was the oven at!!!!

shipping over to Ireland is not bad - Ill do the fix for free. you just cover the postage

let me know

cheers

That looks like you used the broiler, you wanted bake,  temperature was suppose to be 190F not C.

and yes i bake boards all the time, never does anything like that happen to me.    Your best bet is to just step away from the boards

and let fallen have a go :)  He's a good man... makes really entertaining and informative videos.
