    Motherboard Capacitors

    I have a late 90s/early 2000s motherboard that has bad capacitors. The board currently has standard Aluminium Electrolytic Capacitors. Since I have to replace them, I'd like to use equivalent modern Aluminium Polymer Capacitors instead. Is this possible? I have attached a picture of the...

    SE/30 jail bars

    I picked up a SE/30 off FB MArketplace and in the picture it had the vertical lines and a floppy (interestingly the bars were only on the background - the floppy icon was in tact: But, it's an SE/30, so I figured its is worth trying to fix. I got it home and fortunately, the battery was...

    Macintosh TV C195 pad ripped off

    I was replacing the last capacitor on my Mac TV logic board (C195) and because it was a larger one, I tried to desolder it instead of using my usual push and twist method. Turns out there was a decent amount of leakage under the cap and the pad ripped clean off. The other one lifted a bit, but...

    PowerBook 100 Sad Mac 0000000E 0000FF00 Fix

    Recently I picked up a PowerBook 100 for cheap because it lacked the CPU card. Fortune favored me in that the CPU card was available from a seller in Tunisia and not labeled for the 100 - they had it listed by part number. Starting up the old machine resulted in the sad mac code: 0000000E...

    Macintosh 128K Analog Board (120V P/N 630-0102) & Logic Board (P/N 630-01010) Capacitor List

    This guide was created based on an early 1984 128K Mac analog board P/N 630-0102 with a black anode cap and Logic Board P/N 630-0101. Regardless, this guide should also apply to later revisions of the 128K, 512K and Plus. Links to Digikey and Mouser have not been included since things go out of...

    Recapping a Mac LCII PSU - replace a 180µf with a 220µf?

    Hi, I'm recapping my LCII PSU by Astec. I ordered the Astec recap kit from Console5. The big cap on my board is a 180µf 400v nichicon while the one they sent me is a 220µf 400v. I know with voltage I can go higher but what about micro farads? Not sure how to test the old one to see if it even...
