Macintosh Classic blank screen but chime
Posted by: amedeo_68k on 2026-02-25 14:48:06
Hi. I have a Mac Classic fully recapped, both analog and logic board. The logic board is known good. At power on it chimes but screen is black. One more thing. I don’t see the tiny light at CRT cathode. Fan is working. Any ideas ?
Thank you !

I'm testing the CRT neck, I see open circuit at pin 3-4, this sounds weird

Update, I have a low voltage at diode BYT03-300 output, it should be around 38V but I measure 22
