Folks,
I'm doing some volunteer work at my son's school, trying to keep some
venerable hardware in use. I've got an LC that I'm trying to set up
for the kindergarden class to use for practicing keyboarding and
mouse manipulation.
It starts up with a satisfactory 'Bong!' and seems to be running
System 7.5.5 with no problem. However, it starts screaming and
squealing like an AM radio in a really bad reception area. The
problem is definitely in the sound generation, not the hard drive
bearings. (I swapped hard drives to no effect; removed sound/fan
module and problem went away).
Can anyone suggest a way to fix this? Certainly I can clip the
speaker leads, but then the soothing 'Bong!' goes away. :-( Is this
an indication that bit-rot is setting in and that I should just part
out the box to salvage other boxes? I have absolutely no money for
'upgrades'. Repairs will have to be made out of salvage or my own
resources.
TIA for your help.
