If TI really makes them, they'd hopefully be good quality.

Still waiting for the chip ..

Finally I changed that chip and the screen issue gets solved!
But my joy didn't last too much. After some reboots, system won't start up any longer. I get the blinking question mark... I checked hard disc cable but it's well plugged. What could be happened?

hard drive took a shit. Common problem, especially if its a quantum.

That video board is seriously the only thing that causes that to happen?? Guess I'd better hold on to that analog board I wrote off two years ago and try it with a different video board; I definitely have three or four extra video boards just sitting around from dead analog boards!!!

In this case with my order of 10.  I emailed orders@mouser.com

Told them to add 10 to my 1st class order that i had placed the day before. Because i knew it hadn't left yet anyway.

They said no they could not add it.  But would send me these out first class on them.

so i paid my 3 and change and got here the same time as the other order.

Hi, I've a similar problem with a Macintosh Classic II.

I've replace the 2N3904 transistor on video board, without positive end.

Do you know what is the UE8 equivalent on Classic II? I would try to reflux the solder point.

Thanks.
