Lc ii not chiming, recapped, was working fine
Posted by: imactheknife on 2023-09-06 20:14:08 Ok, so this lc ii was recapped and cleaned. Was working fine. After my move i was going through and testing some of my systems and this one isnt chiming, no display etc. powers on. Tried:d Different psu known to be good Different memory known to be good Different roms known to be good Different vram known to be good. I touched up all my caps pads, and still no difference. I pulled off the egret and sound chip and cleaned pads. Going to check traces, and put egret / sound on and again tomorrow. Any ideas? Also had a few recapped psu from lc not working now, man was it just the moving lol?

To be thorough: yes, moving causes things to jolt and flex, which causes solder joints to sometimes break, sometimes whole traces - try finding that kind of fault without wasting weeks. @Phipli has a whole box of graphics cards that worked before being mailed, and subsequently required extensive rework. Get a tiny (suggestion: dental) pick and go over the CPU and V8 ASIC pins, attempting to *gently* wiggle them (at the base, not the 'shoulder')
Posted by: ArbysTPossum on 2023-09-18 08:42:58 I also have a re-capped LCII, SCSI2SD inside and BlueSCSI plugged into the back. It would act up, I had to flip the power on and off and wait for it to even chime. I replaced the internal battery, and it hasn't given me trouble since. I didn't think the LCII had this kind of battery issue, but it has worked for me.
