>>Shouldn't be too difficult to replace all of the electrolytics and see if that helps :)<<
I thought of that, but the electrolytics are located back by the power supply jack, over by the ADB plug, up underneath the floppy drive, and without a parts layout schematic, it's damn near impossible. Trying to follow traces is a loser, because they go from the top to the bottom of the board and back again, and I'm not too sure that it isn't a multi-layer board. A quarter-inch line on the schematic turns out to be about 24 inches long. A couple of traces disappear like rivers in Florida--somewhere underground. I asked the local computer repair types, and they said, "And how much were you willing to pay?" They don't know either, and they won't part with a parts layout. Anybody got one? The IIvx is on the shelf, the IIci comes on as soon as the surge protector is switched on, and chugs along all day long. I figure it's a good candidate for some 24/7 service. Other than that life is normal, except for the 2 feet of snow everywhere. Last night was the first time the temps' been above freezing since 1 Jan. Hey, I chose to live here, which ain't normal. -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
