Hi all, I, too, have replaced C28, and the dock now works like a charm. Wonderful!

If it's ticking, it's the dreaded Tick of Death. This can be fixed either with a new power supply, or replacing a capacitor if you don't have semi-1337 soldering skills. Next you can pop the top off (Grab the front edge of the two sides (the vertical parts), squeeze, and lift. I believe it has ridges) and watch while pushing a Duo in to see if anything is blocking. There should be a spring-return slider on the left side with a little tab that goes between two little black boxes. When that crosses the black boxes, the mechanism should fire. You can push this manually and see if it goes. If not, it's either not getting power or the inject/eject mechanism isn't working. You can check this by removing the big motor thingy with a few screws on it and manually sticking the Duo on the connector. If it then powers up, then it's the mechanism. If not, it's the power supply or motherboard. From there, it gets tougher figuring out which one is the problem :) There's a site somewhere that describes how to make a Mac power supply power up manually, but I can't find it. Anyone got it? And that is the quick version of dock diagnosis :) Scott Holder -----Original Message----- From: Duo/2400 List [mailto:DuoList@;lists.themacintoshguy.com] On Behalf Of Virkkala Sent: Wednesday, November 06, 2002 4:53 PM To: Duo/2400 List Subject: [Duo2400] DuoDock problem I received a DuoDock recently from the swap list, and just today tried it out on my working 280c. It's a nice one, with an Ethernet port, and looks good... Unfortunately, it doesn't grab the Duo. The manual (yes, I got a manual with the used DuoDock) doesn't give me any advice that I hadn't thought of. It seems that the Dock is not working. I have no idea if it is even powering on. If you were troubleshooting this, what would you do next? Take it apart and look around? Give up and buy another one? t ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
