Hi All,
I recently bought a 512k and It worked when powered on once after it was delivered. I unplugged it & spent a few weeks learning about the system & preparing to refurbish it. I plugged it in yesterday and there was a pfft and it started smoking. I unplugged it so no other harm was done. I've tried to look for description of a similar occurrence online, no luck. I've consulted the Dead Mac Scrolls & Macintosh Repair & Upgrade Secrets.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Did you look inside? Probably a filter cap smoked.

Yes, filters caps, usual... no big deal.

Thanks that's reassuring.

It was probably the line safety capacitors. Either the X1/X2 or Y1/Y2 capacitors.
