I have a Colour Classic that is being a bit iffy for want of a better word...
two reasons:
1) on bootup, it chimes...screen greyish....then its like 'reset' screen goes off for a second then chime...then its ok. - anyone know why?
The PRAM battery is dead and the OS you have installed requires 32-bit addressing. A lot of older Macs I have (including both x100 PowerMacs) have to set this explicitly then reboot if the PRAM battery is dead or absent. I think OS 7.6 onwards require this.
2) I finally got into it today to get rid of that huge black border around the picture that was just wasting space...i make the picture small, perfectly square then stretch it verticly, nice, stretch it horizontally...and...erm...on the left of the screen there is like a huge back bulge poking into the picture and on the left, a similar buldge but smaller...what is this?
I know its not pin cushion (that what its called?) because i fiddled with that and i could see the picture moving (i put an open window in the middle of the screen to see) but nothing was happening with this bulge!
Sounds like an analogue board fault, or you over adjusting he picture (I have done that on SE/30s) but either way get it square and leae it like that. If there is a large black border in the position it is 'most square' in then it might have a dying or fault A.B.
The first doesn't matter much
Bugger, that was the one I knew the answer to :(
I can live with it, but the second is annoying me very much.
Yeh, and having not owned a CC ( :( ) I can't help much.
