| Freecycle Performa 6320 |
Posted by: stevep on 2008-08-08 11:27:19
Well the ad said Performa 630 so of course I jumped on that.... got it loaded into my vehicle and realized it's a 6320. Has the monitor, Stylewriter 2500 printer and all manuals and disks. Now what to do???
I am tempted to strip it for parts. Any thoughts? BTW it won't power up - this must be one that requires a working PRAM battery as it worked before being stored a year ago I am told.

Steve,
I'm not sure that they require a working PRAM battery, when I had my 6320 the battery never worked, But bad powersupply's in those computers are very common, in fact, when I recieved my 6320 the power supply was bad in it. and my grandparents recently bought a 6300 from a garage sale, it also had a bad powersupply.
I say that you should scrap it, They aren't fun computers to work with, and they are painfully slow.
Good Luck.
Blake.

Well it's still faster than a 630...
I don't know what the power issue could be, but with these machines it is generally a simple power-on with the keyboard job, not requiring any PRAM battery to be present. Perhaps try making sure the motherboard is properly slotted in so it is making good contact.

Well one bit of good news - it does power up after all 🙂

There is a TV card and a video input card installed on this 6320 as well.

There is a TV card and a video input card installed on this 6320 as well. They are always good. For a long time I've been using a Performa 5200 (+ 6400 mobo) with one of these video input cards, functioning as a monitor for games consoles.
