Okay, I performed my 1st (and probably last) ever recap today, on my LC475. The machine still works...this is good! But, I did not expect my overclock performance to drop. I still don't have my MC88196DW80 chips (ordered 2), so perhaps when that is swapped, I'll be able to get back on track. Before the recap, I could get about 39mhz, now I'm at 36.89mhz. There is a caveat, at 39mhz, it would often hang, I would turn on and off a time or two and it would start. Since I have replaced the capacitors, I decided this was unacceptable (plus it wasn't starting after turning off and on), so I cranked it down. Although I didn't keep the setting long, before the recap, when I first installed Spicy, 36.51mhz seemed pretty reliable, so maybe this is just my 'real' limit with the MC88920? Another thing though...not related to Spicy I think, but puzzling nonetheless. Now, at startup, after memory check, the screen comes on, then happy face, then screen goes black again, then comes back on...another happy face...then it boots, or attempts to. This extra black screen never happened before the recap!
I have run Apple Personal Diagnostics, logic board tests pass. Everything else seems okay so far. Another odd thing to me, was that even though I left the PRAM battery in while performing the recap, it lost time and date. Was that because the caps were missing?
Anyway, I'd appreciate any thoughts on my adventure!
