I had recently gotten a Macintosh IIsi that didn't have any signs of life. I've gone through it and recapped a fair amount of the power supply and tested the voltages, I was getting a solid +12.3 +5.4 -12.3. The machine powered up but no display or chime, I thought nothing more then it just...
Hello all,
I apologize if this has been covered, I did search but was unable to find any information here, other forums, or YouTube videos (some even claiming "full restoration").

Greetings all.
I recently got a Q700 case with the motherboard and the PSU from a Quadra 650.

I just recapped my other LCII PSU, a TDK this time. It was completely dead. Now it ticks in triplets (123-123-123, etc.). It's very faint and sounds as though it may be coming from the...
I picked up a Power Macintosh 7100/80 AV with the AV video in/out card a few months ago. Last night I decided to tackle this behemoth. The logic board has 25x 47uf 16v caps, and one 100uf 6v cap. The video card has 13x 47uf 16v caps.
Overall not a bad nights work but quite overwhelming if you...
