Mac Classic troubles
Posted by: Ildefonso on 2016-05-28 23:59:51
I recently bought a faulty Mac Classic. No bong, no raster at the start at all. Opened the little creature I found some leaky capacitors in the power section of the logic board, which I changed. I also washed-cleaned the logic board. But this is the result, no bong at startup and the image in the attached video.

Any clue where should I dig?

Thanks????

Time to recap that logic board!

Yes. That's has been the solution.

I've recaped the analog board and resoldered every solder joint and the Classic has return to live!!!

Now there rest two problems to be solved: no sound (wich will require recaping the logic board) and a faulty disk drive, not very hard to be repaired (I hope 🙂 )

Thanks for the answer
