>>I don't understand the problem. Pull out the motherboard and replace all the SM metal can electrolytic caps.<<
T'aint wuth it. First, I'd have to find replacements--not easy to do in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. Hen's teeth are easier to find here. Second, the IIcx is bog slow (my SE booted faster). Third, it donated its memory to a IIsi for a kid without a computer, the hard drive replaced the MiniScribe in my SE (always sounded like a Pratt & Whitney J79 spooling up), the floppy drive and the power supply went to a friend with dead 'uns, and the bottom of the case (with a liner) now serves as Roo's potty. How that for re-cycling? The IIci just chugs along, and doesn't care which switch I push to light its fire. Just lazy on that one. Besides, I hate the shotgun approach to repair--replace-everything-and-it-just-might-fix-it--too many hours spent in the days before chips, troubleshooting down to the component level. -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
