Manual for the Mac-Cable-Check cable & connector testing device. Contains a classic Mac cable compatibility table and pin-outs.

I have a lovely new lime iMac G3 but it has a display that needs some work. I'd really appreciate it if someone could tell me from these photos what needs to be recapped. Analog board, neck board, downconverter or maybe all 3? Fried flyback? I do have others that I can swap parts with to...

Well thanks so much for all that info. I'll pull the analog board out again this week and check all its joints. I haven't reflowed any of its connections yet.

No video. Full history is: - obtained Mac CC - recapped logic board (which has booted ever since) - recapped 13 caps on analog board as per https://recapamac.com.au/macintosh-cc-analog/ - it worked for about a year with no problems. only booted it occasionally. - restarted after a long time and...

Is it possible to test a flyback for a Color Classic using a multimeter without removing it from the analog board? I've replaced most of the caps on the analog board but I'm trying to determine if I should keep going & replace the rest of them or I shouldn't bother because the flyback's dead.

Voila what I have landscape.

Headphone cable in and out of the socket a few times?

Desperately needs some arrangement & organizing.

Really appreciate the links. Very helpful.

Wow. Very impressive.

I'm doing this exact repair & my L3 broke a leg as well while I was desoldering it. Appears to be pretty common. What should I replace it with? I'm shopping for 150uH's but what Maximum DC Current do I need? Mouser has up to 50 A.

I will buy one in a hurry, whenever they're ready.
