Hi Clinton, Error 52 means: Problems with a defective COPS chip on the I/O board. After the total cleaning of all I/O board connectors you should check your COPS chip. I hope these informations help you a little bit further. Helmut Post on 09.06.2005 1:25 Uhr, Clinton Yelvington at [EMAIL

Hi, I have a Lisa 2/5 and a 2/10 (XL). I have successfully installed an XL I/O board in my Lisa 2/5 ( with the old battery backed-up I/O board). there are no big differences between the I/O boards- however, I have used a different 800KB ROM for the XL I/O board. The XL I/O card fits in a 2/5,

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

Hello Phil, error 85 means: you have reached the hard disk time-out limit... the hard disk hasn't answered within a given time- probably the system track, boot secor is bad . You need a fresh low level format.- or a new drive if the number of bad blocks exceeds 30 counts. I have just finished

Hi Phil, you don't have to replace all caps- only the electrolytic caps and the transparent , sometimes white or yellowish power surge protector (interference suppression) caps - I had several explosions and ugly smell with these power surge protector caps. If the Lisa had been stored in a humid

Hi Ray, So my questions are: 1. Is there a known symptom/fix for the power button lighting up for half a second this way? Is it an I/O board, motherboard, or CPU board issue? Anyone else had a CPU board that got slightly warped and wouldn't fit? Any way to relax them enough to fit
