Classic II no sound….solved
Posted by: bibilit on 2022-05-01 08:29:30
I had a spare Classic II, new caps around, worked but had no sound.
At some point, removed the DFAC for a test, but was not able to found the issue.
I was trying to troubleshoot an Analog Board, using this unit.
When the logic board was upside down, noticed a dark area in one trace…which was broken.
Trace was going from the DFAC to a capacitor !!
A small wire… and sound is back.

I had the same issue (no sound on a recapped board) and turned out to be the exact same issue. This trace was broken on the underside, disconnecting the DFAC from C9.

Nice, thanks for saving me some time!

That C4/5/8/9 combo reeks all sorts of havoc. I’ve recently restored a Classic II and both serial ports didn’t work due to broken traces and blown vias in this area.

Anyone know the specifics of C4? I managed to lift one pad (C4 +). There's a trace going from (what was) that pad to a chip labeled 34119 025 (which I bodged)...But there's also a trace on the opposite side of that pad leading to two vias....No clue how to bodge that as I don't know where the vias are going. Thanks for any help.

Disregard. I repaired both traces.
