Mac Classic boot problem

2016-03-02 Thread Stephen Collins
Hi everyone,

I'm new to the vintage Mac scene and have a Mac Classic here with an 
internal Quantum 40MB hard drive and 4MB of memory. When I first got it, 
everything booted and ran fine. It came with 6.0.7. Over about a week, I 
noticed apps and even the Finder crashing. It got progressively worse until 
I started getting the "disk with question mark" image on startup.

So far, I have removed the drive and run SpinRite (from grc.com) on level 2 
and level 4. Everything passed 100%, no errors. I have booted from internal 
ROM by holding CMD-OPT-O-X and sometimes the hard drive appears and other 
times it does not.

I cleaned the internals and system board using a can of compressed air, but 
so far no water or chemicals. What should I do next?

Thanks!

This is a Classic, so almost everything is surface mounted. I cleaned the 
board with QD Electronic Cleaner just to see, but that did not help.

Hmm, I was afraid that would be the recommendation. I'm comfortable with 
soldering through-hole mounted stuff but everything (except cpu) here is 
surface mounted. Any links to a guide on this?

Can you help me choose the correct replacement caps? I assume Aluminum

digikey.com.

Re: Mac Classic boot problem

2016-03-04 Thread Stephen Collins
Update:

I recently acquired a Floppy EMU from Steve Chamberlain over at 
http://www.bigmessowires.com. I connected it in hard drive mode on the 
DB-19 port. The machine runs System 6, apps and games flawlessly in this 
configuration with two exceptions: 1) As described above, the internal hard 
drive is missing most of the time, but will occasionally appear on bootup 
alongside the Floppy EMU drive. 2) No sound.

I ask again, does this still sound like an issue that a recap will solve? I 
have pulled and tested the drive with SpinRite. It tested fine and the 
connectors look ok. I received my caps from digikey today, just thought I 
would run it be here one last time.

Thanks!

Re: Mac Classic boot problem

2016-03-04 Thread Stephen Collins
I have inspected around the caps, and see no evidence of leakage. 
Regardless I think they are weak, and it's probably a matter of time. 
Here's the procedure I'm going with (via Wesley above).

Capacitor replacement: 
- Grab cap with pliers, push down & twist 
- Clean area with isopropyl and q-tips 
- Add flux, remove legs with soldering iron 
- Clean again 
- Use braid to wick remaining solder on pad 
- Clean again
- Flow solder onto 1st pad 
- Hold component in position and heat pad
- Solder in the other side

Well good news and bad news. I successfully replaced all the capacitors and 
cleaned the MB thoroughly. Sure enough, it fixed the sound issue.

Bad news is still no internal hard drive. Last week, it would occasionally 
recognize on startup. Now it never does. I know the drive is good because 
it works fine in another machine. What should I try next?

So it's a 4 lead connector into the drive - Red, Brown, Black, Orange. The 
Red one reads 4.88V and the Orange one reads 11.72V. 

How does that sound?
