got two new macs a mac classic and a plus. well the plus starts but i have no keyboard and the classic doesnt.

the classic turns on to a screen filled with white and black squares and hen sometimes actually gets to a screen with a mouse but nothing else.


the plus is different . it has no keyboard and the internal hard drive isn't spinning up. so i need to get a new key board and do the sticktion thing on the drive.


oh btw be fore yall tell me that the plus has no hard drive mine has the hyperdrive 20 upgrade.

ok here i go moving fast again lol. got the drive in the mac plus working tries to boot get happy mac then get sad mac and 0f0101 error.

ooooh, you're lucky to have a HyperDrive in your pus. Those things are pretty rare.

The Classic Sounds like it has problems with it's Analog board, though I'd check the Caps on the Motherboard (They like to fail and gum everything up). There are lot's of tutorials on the 'net about how to correct analog board and Capacitor problems, so it should be repairable, whatever the problem is.

yeah thanks i have been told the classic has those problems if i could only get in the case.at least the mouse works lol.

ive been trying find info on the error code from the plus but no luck so far. i guess ill have to keep searching.

well found priblem wit the classic pram leakage its gross anyone have a spare mobo?

Unless the PRAM battery leakage corroded traces or other contacts on the board, all you need to do is throw it in the dishwasher –*no soap and no heat dry. Let it dry 2 or three days in low humidity and that should fix it.

 

[linemanduke]

tried it traces lifted. no sound boots to rom. but only if the hard drive is unplugged. its just got way to many issues

 

[linemanduke]

worked on the mac plus wont boot to diskette with the hyperdrive removed. gonna try making a pram sub for it.
