It could be a combination of both; maybe the caps are good enough to power/boot the machine about 25% of the time, but I suspect this will decrease as the machine ages. I'd say the faulty caps are almost certainly the source of the problem with both the keyboard and PSU power button. >I've looked in the service manual, and the closest thing I can find to a >problem which matches these symptoms is a loose, ill-fitted or otherwise >troublesome toner carousel.

Long shot, and might not be too easy to try, but have you tried a known-good fuser? Also, there might be something useful at http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/ >Once again, sorry for the OT post.

Hey, as long as it works with vintage Macs, it's still legitimate :) No reason we should exclude stuff made after a certain date as long as its functionality is directly related to our beloved 030s :) -- the pickle FAQ <http://macfaq.org/index.shtml> _________________________________________________________________ -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
