Disregard my questions on what I said under mac iivx questions because now I have a new issue
my quadra stopped chiming. press power button I hear the speaker pop. nothing. the '040 doesnt get hot anymore(to the touch). and it no longer boots from my 7.5.3 CD anymore-I was trying to get the floppy drive going due to it always spinning the drive motor (not the eject) even with no floppy in it. no amount of cleaning in it was making a change. so I gave up on the floppy drive for the time being and then tried the boot from TV option by doing the command option T+V key and I couldn't get that to work either so then, it just would deal with the no screw posts on the mac video port issue and just go from there (its VERY sensitive have to hold it in right spot) I was going to see if I could possible run a HD diagnostic software and boot from CD to see if the 250MB HD is fixable (if its not that's fine a SCSI2SD is on its way this was for fun)
but then, that's when it decided to stop chiming. like I said earlier it turns on I hear PSU fan running the speaker pops. no chime. no video. no death chime just sits there and does nothing. I pulled the RAM sticks to no avail.
I'm thinking it probably needs a re-cap job NOW so, my question is there what are the tips or recommended replacement capacitors to use for this mac? should I re-cap the PSU?
