Hey all, I happened to be in the right place and the right time, and found an original Mac 128k in great shape on Craigslist. Unfortunately, the screen doesn't work. I can power it on, but it makes the mac bong, and it sounds like a crt is turning on, but nothing comes on the screen. There is a red light on on the inside.
This is my very first time having my hands on a compact mac since I played with a Mac Classic when I was five years old, so I might not be getting my terminology right. Do you think I'll have to replace a resistor or something? Is this doable for someone with no previous soldering experience/knowledge, but a willingness to learn? I went ahead and grabbed a copy of "Dead Mac Scrolls", since that seemed to be consistently recommended. Any advice you have is greatly appreciated.
