| Mac Classic II Repair - UK/Ireland? |
Posted by: troupe86 on 2023-11-24 03:55:11
Hello all,
I've inherited a Mac Classic II which was recently recapped, although the 68030 processor looks to have some bridged pins with some pins mangled together.
I don't have a suitable soldering iron or desoldering station to fix this. Is there anywhere/anyone within the UK or Ireland who can possibly repair it for me?
Picture attached below of what happens when it's switched on.
Thanks! |

Do you have a pic of the logic board showing the CPU? |

I'm interested in helping - have sent you a PM. |

So I'm going to be getting @troupe86's 68030 CPU repaired.
I only have an SE/30 chassis at present and I assume the Classic II board would be totally incompatible with this?
Is it possible to power up the Classsic II with an ATX supply and custom harness in order to hear it chime? |

If you want a trip out to Salisbury I can lend you a Classic II to wire it up to while you troubleshoot/repair it, if that helps. |

Yes, you can power a Classic / Classic II board off an ATX power supply, I've done it before. |

Perfect, that's what I thought. (without the analogue board, correct?)
If it's like the SE/30, it'll only need +5V and ground. |

Yeah, just the logicboard on its own.
+5, +12, -12V and GND.
Can't remember if Classic II is the same, I think it is from memory. |
