| Performa 550 Logic board | |
| Posted by: tommijazz91 on 2020-08-18 00:15:42 After a long wait, I finally picked this Lc550 logic board at the post office:  I got it at a good price from Japan, and now it will probably need some restoring.   It appears to be dirty but not too much, it even came with VRAM and RAM already installed. I’m just a bit concerned about the white dots surrounding some of the chips: should I toss it in the dishwasher? Advice needed. Also, it came with this:  Since the logic board it’s going to be used in a Color Classic, I am considering of selling the backplate and cable if someone is interested. | |
| Posted by: ravuya on 2020-08-18 02:18:27 It looks a bit like humidity damage - Japanese machines often aren’t stored in anything approaching a climate-controlled environment. Try brushing a bit of vinegar and then alcohol on there first and see if it goes away. | |

Posted by: Daniël on 2020-08-19 15:34:49I might be interested in the backplate for my Performa 578, which I assume is identical?Nope, the port layout is different. The 575 models have one ADB port, 550 models two. So it won't fit. | |
