Long time lurker, first time poster! I picked up a Classic II fairly cheaply off eBay. First day it worked fine, but since then it's been having issues. At first it was just stone dead, no power at all, then I replaced the main power cap on the analogue board, and now it powers up, but is showing the "simasiMac" symptoms. Long delay before startup bong, unexpected rebooting, no HDD spin up, etc.
Checking the logic board reveals that whoever owned it before me tried to repair the thing by replacing the caps, but has messed up the PCB majorly in the process. Lifted tracks, burnt PCB, just a mess. I don't have any hope of reviving this board. However, I'm having real trouble locating a replacement logic board. eBay doesn't have them often, and when they do, the shipping is utterly insane, and so far I've not had any responses from the various Mac spare parts places I've emailed. So, I thought I'd post here. Does anyone have any advice? Maybe has a Classic II logic board they'd be able to sell? -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
