Hi all,
Got a Mac II today - or, rather, a Mac IIfx in a II case. Cleaned it,
replaced PRAM batteries with working ones, and powered on once without
drives. PS took a few tries, but did come on. All seemed well, so I
turned it off and added drives (1 FD and a 5" 60 meg HD. Turned this
on, and when the drive started to spin up, a resister, labeled L4 (near
power connector for HD) became red, smoldered, and went *snap* as I
quickly unplugged the power. Is this the drive's fault? It seems to
be in the region of the hard drive power connector.
Another, side issue I noticed was some brown gunk coming from the
processor region. What is this? There aren't any capacitors near
there that could have leaked...
Thanks for any help.
