Can I fix my Macintosh LC475's Video, Recap It AND then Overclock it? High stakes!
My vintage Mac and LC475 has poor video and on top of this it's capacitors are ALL leaking, causing damage to the machine! So we need to get into this machine urgently, to get those caps replaced and then find a fix for its ailing video output! Oh, and for good measure, we'll "overclock" it from 25MHz to 40MHz! | Posted by: finkmac on 2025-07-11 10:01:15
no, I doubt it | Posted by: Compgeke on 2025-07-11 13:24:08
I think you should overclock it before you recap it. The extra heat might evaporate the capacitor goo off the board, causing it to absorb back into the caps and reform them. | Posted by: Retronaut on 2025-07-12 03:26:12
But it might create a toxic cloud of cap vapour, and wipe out the local wildlife 😛 | Posted by: Retronaut on 2025-07-12 03:26:42
