That's fair. Is there a guide or list online somewhere for what modern replacements to use??

Having recently got back into the project and using the Excel-file from Recap-a-mac I have identified at least two broken lines/pins (continuity) for the UD11 (VIA) chip (pin 30 and 41). Normally I would try and fix traces, however there's continuity between all other components on the same...

Having fixed the break, the soft-power now works! At least in terms of the PSU turning on, and the LED on the logic board being green. However, I don't get a chime and no video as far as I can tell. One step at a time I guess. I'm using the same video setup (same cable, VGA-adapter and monitor)...

Having done a bit more amateur sleuthing and making use of the schematic @Hugotronics shared I think I might have found the break. There seems to be a break between pin 10 on the PSU socket and the rest of the circuit. Seeing as how, as far as I understand, pin 10 is the one providing the...

I decided to check the voltage ratings on the 2 PSUs, the one from my Quadra 700 (Delta) that works and the one from the IIci (Astec) that the seller said didn't work (and that I have yet to recap). Turns out they are very similar but not exactly the same. My understanding is that a slightly...

I'm using the PSU out of my Quadra 700 and that works perfectly

Ok, so I reflowed Q3 and a few other chips (UA4, UA5, and UH2). Some were a bit stubborn but they all came out looking shiny and tested ok. I also touched up some of my capacitor work and I tested all the traces @phunguss mentioned and they all checked out fine. Lastly, I checked the power...

Thanks, I'll check those spots and see what I can find Yes, I cleaned the board. Not sure if the previous owner tried doing any repairs, but I'm pretty sure no one had tried recapping it at least. First I removed all the old caps, cleaned the board as best I could with IPA and white vinegar, I...

Hey all! Thanks for the suggestions, and sorry for the late reply! I've attached a few images of the board, in case that helps. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a microscope or the like so I'm trying to get by with only my eyes, and while I can clearly see damage between the expansion slots...

Hey all! I have been collecting some old Macs the last couple of years, a Macintosh Plus, a Powerbook 170, a Macintosh IIvx, and a Quadra 700. All of them came to me working but needing either maintenance work like recapping, or in the case of the Powerbook, plastic repair. So I'd say I'm...
