Re: Micromac Speedy connections
I don't seem to be having any luck with this. I can tie the wires around the pins under the oscillator on my Turbo 040-40 and it works fine, but when I do it on my IIsi, it won't boot, it just starts up, doesn't chime, and the screen takes on one solid color until I turn it off again. I soldered the wires to the bottom of the motherboard under the oscillator, but I had the same result. I pulled off the solder and it worked again, but no luck getting the Speedy to work! ... Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks. -Original Message- From: Jane Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2001 12:27:49 -0700 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Vintage Macs) Subject: Re: Micromac Speedy connections Would this be a good application for Loctite, anyone?

Unfortunately, after working with it for a little while, both clips fell apart, and one just broke in half. I'm left with two wires coming from the Speedy card. I've tried to connect these to the pins on the oscillator, but unfortunately, what always seems to happen is either one wire grounds to the oscillator casing, or the pins just don't touch the wires properly. Can anyone suggest a better method for attaching these to the motherboard? Would it be more effective for me to just hook these up to the solder pads underneath the motherboard, under the oscillator That would probably be best, yes. You don't want to chance shorting out a wire to the casing while the Mac is running. p _ the pickle The FAQ http://macfaq.binhost.com/ The Archive http://www.jmug.org/software/thepickle/ _ -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I feel confident though that I can get it right first try, all I have to do is put down a little liquid solder onto the area where the wire touches the pad. Printed boards aren't much more complicated than just wires. One tip that will prevent you from having a cold solder joint, and therefore a bad connection, though, is to have all three elements in contact with the tip of the iron so that they are all a similar temperature. It's a quick operation, because the tracks or pads of the board will lift with too much heat. About a second is sufficient. Your joint should be shiny when done, and less is more. Good luck with it. jt -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
