Well, I guess I never learn.
Just got back from a trip and on the way I brought some "rescues" with me. Okay, the Model 4 I got off Craigslist but who's taking notes? (In case you're curious, the other 'Rescues are an IBM Aptiva E275 w/monitor and an Imac G3. Got those from a nice lady.)
Any way, brought home a nice Model 4. It was working before I picked it up, but the owner said he powered it up that morning and left it for about 15 minutes came back and it had shut off. So I got it for a great price, much less than I was going to pay previously, and took the old girl home. So I took her apart and here's the situation. The power supply is clicking when I turn it on, and the drives flicker with every click. I reflowed the header pins, but no luck. The old paperfilter caps look good, no cracks or buldging. It's a non- gate array with a Tandy power supply.
Maybe you guys can help me. (Also, the keyboard is filthy. How does one take it apart?)
Thanks,
Peter
