| Performa 550 | |
| Posted by: GeneralMartok on 2022-05-28 14:58:40 So recently I saved a performa 550 from my works recycling facility, The machine it self is in excellent shape however the clock battery over the years seems to have leaked and corroded a nice little chunk of the logic board near the adb ports. I tried to clean it and maybe save it but it's a no go. So does anyone have an extra 550 logic board laying around they might part with and if so how much? | |
| Posted by: volvo242gt on 2022-05-28 17:17:48 An LC/Performa 575 board would be a nice upgrade... 68LC040 chip instead of the 68030 chip. Swap in a full 68040, and you'll have Quadra 950 speed in an all-in-one Mac. Macintosh LC 575 Specs: EveryMac.comTechnical specifications for the Macintosh LC 575.

Swap in a full 68040, and you'll have Quadra 950 speed in an all-in-one Mac.Never would have thought of that. If I can find one at a decent price I will for sure consider that. | |

| Posted by: jajan547 on 2022-05-28 19:42:57 Did you try soaking it In some white vinegar first? Sometimes WD-40 actually helps break ups the battery goo. | |

Posted by: GeneralMartok on 2022-05-28 19:50:31Did you try soaking it In some white vinegar first? Sometimes WD-40 actually helps break ups the battery goo.Yes I tried all the usual tricks before hand. To bad that board will not fit though. Its upgraded. | |
| Posted by: jajan547 on 2022-05-28 19:53:41 I mean I have a Color Classic ii board (basically an LC550) and a LC575 board both are in machines but I could part ways if need be. | |

| Posted by: jajan547 on 2022-05-28 20:06:58 What are you looking to spend not exactly easy to find? | |
Posted by: GeneralMartok on 2022-05-28 20:10:04What are you looking to spend not exactly easy to find?Yeah see thats the thing. Obviously it will cost me a pretty penny no matter what. So now I gotta ask myself if its worth it and if its important enough. | |
| Posted by: jajan547 on 2022-05-28 20:11:32 I think the board you have is salvageable, worst case it’s an EGRET and I have some spares of those | |
Posted by: GeneralMartok on 2022-05-28 20:18:39I think the board you have is salvageable, worst case it’s an EGRET and I have some spares of thoseI don't know, alot of the pins on these chips are corroded off, and im pretty sure a small "something" fell off completely when I first took the board out. Im not equipped to repair this board nor do I have the knowledge. Just thought I would check and see if the boards exsited for any kind of cheap price, Im not willing nor can I afford to spend hundreds of dollars on things like this so I guess Ill make room for the next one I come across. | |

Posted by: GeneralMartok on 2022-05-28 20:54:31Here ya are positive this guy would ship to the US. LC550 LogicBoard.I appreciate it, but I'v already stripped the drives out, im just going to get rid of it. I thought about selling it as is but it would not be worth it because of shipping charges. Hey you win some you lose some, It was worth a shot. I still have my 5200/75LC, apple SE, and my Emac to keep me entertained. | |

| Posted by: GeneralMartok on 2022-05-28 21:11:02 I ended it's pain. It would not be worth selling, after shipping charges id hardly make anything on it. | |
| Posted by: jajan547 on 2022-05-28 21:16:38 That’s a shame the parts will be useful to people though | |
