I have a related issue when it comes to capacitors on a Mac Classic II. I recently started it up after more than 10 years of sitting on a shelf. It started right up but there was no sound except if I plugged in headphones and set the volume to maximum. Even then, I could barely hear it. Over the next two weeks, it had trouble starting up and either showed a white screen or a checkerboard pattern. I washed the motherboard with detergent and it now boots up fine, but there is still no sound. So, I have two questions:
1. Which capacitors on the board affect the sound. 2. The recorded sounds were accessible in the sound control panel but where are the actual files stored and what format would they be? Several files include short recordings of my kids when they were toddlers and I would like to change the format so that I can listen to them on another computer. L.
