What the holy hand grenade did you do to that LCIII? I can understand the stick-on cooler on the cpu but the other one? Also, why the jury-rigged battery? When you can get real replacements for $2 each shipped?

I would shutter to guess its a power trace issue. set up that way to troubleshoot possibly. I am just guessing here but with great soldering skills way easier than having that battery and holding wires everywhere. The common practice on compact motherboards and lc's was to lay a wire and solder the ends to create a new trace. Not sure why that bothers you, if people didn't leave pram batteries in for 25 years we woldnt have so many trace issues :🙂

This one is overclocked 33mhz, that explains the cooler on the cpu, however my IR thermometer told me the VLSI chip was also getting

very warm under full load as well, in-fact more hot then the cpu.

I have a tray of 3.6v lithium batteries that are like new, so i am recycling them, the wires are soldered on, it is 100% non destructive add, solder can be removed with wick.

Thanks for posting that link to the pram batteries, 2 bucks free shipping is a deal.

I wouldn't use one of those red Maxell bombs in that LC III! Check the sticky at the top of this subforum.

I hate Comcast with a passion. Practically called me a liar to my face, and that 1800 ms ping is "perfectly normal." They wanted me to pay for their technician to come out and fix a problem that was very obviously theirs, but they insisted that it's all my fault. Only after I drop kicked them to the curb for something else did they send one of their salesmen over to try and sell me on it again, telling me that, "Oh, yeah, it wasn't your fault afterall. One of the central nodes was damaged."

Took a considerable effort to not punch the guy in the face.

Looking at the LC and the LC II... could you solder RAM onto the empty pads on the LC?

Posted by: uniserver on 2012-12-07 13:23:29
thats a good question 🙂

A LC-III

One of the most annoying re/works i've done yet.

(4) - 10uf 16v caps, all pads ripped off +/- , except for one negative pad with one cap.

had to run 7 wires from the portholes in order to make 7 connections, craziness,

This one has been waiting for me on the back burner. This was one of those 99 cent 15 dollar shipping wins from ebay.

You know, in the description where they say it may work .... it may not, I don't have an apple monitor to test.

When they were obviously trying to offload his failure at recapping.

its ok, it works fine now.

Ugly,,,, but working fine, as you can see much flux.
