The cost cutting probably explains why I've seen them go bad on Classics more often than SEs. When the SE came out it was the second best in the Mac line (with the II above it and the Plus and 512Ke below it). The Classic was always the low end and it costs considerably less than the SE. And yes,

I have not personally seen the capacitors in question but I wonder what the temperature rating of the originals was rated at. In tv and video equipment you can encounter similar problems (usually where some degree of heat is involved). When sourcing replacements try get "higher" temperature rated

If the power supply is known to be good chances are you've got a busted logic board. I wouldn't go so far to scrap your IIsi but if you can find another logic board and it works fine you've isolated the culprit. Also check the connection of the power supply. I once thought an LC was dead but my pr
