Well, that was certainly an interesting escapade. Apparently a power
supply cap blew up sometime in the past, and there was crusted electrolyte
all over the one side. Some cleaning of the chassis and case later, I have
got the Lisa booting up. However, it just appears as if the Widget is n
Yes, two grey square (about 15mm x 15mm) feet. I would guess they are
about 6-7mm in height.
If the Lisa does not see the Widget, I would not know what else to
try. I'm sure someone else would have a good idea though.

Was it a translucent, beige (sort of), rectangular capacitor right at
the bottom of the power supply board?
It is part of the line filter circuit (surge protection), and tends to
get very fragile with age. Without it, a surge protector/UPS might be a
good idea. Evox Rifa still make them (PME 2
Hi,
I have replaced all old electrolytic caps and the power surge caps in my
Lisa- no more problems- and the Voltages are more stable than ever before.
I have even exchanged all electrolytic caps in the video circuit- the
picture is now much better- the slight jitter is gone.
I'd recommend everyone
Actually, the Lisa appears to be just fine, other than the ghost Widget.
I am guessing that something failed in the past and the power supply was
repaired or replaced. I wouldn't expect that someone doing that job would
go through the trouble of taking the entire machine apart to clean up th
You can do the caps now while everything is still working, or later after
wong voltages have been going to the device for a while. Which would you
prefer?

Does anyone know what causes a drive toy give an error 85 (drive
can't keep up)?
I have just finished telling the list that I got my SUN REM drive
working again, and that I thought the cause was overheating
(Installed a fan). However I still get constant error 85 messages.
If I reinstall
I certainly understand about the necessity to replace all old
capacitors. I have restored equipment much older than the Lisa in the past.
This was something I was planning on doing very soon, not to mention keeping
the Lisa from being used in the meantime. I was just making the statement
