MAC Stuff

While we are on the subject of Macs, I have a question.

I used to work in the Mac Repair shop at ASU, fixing dead Macs. We used to
get a lot of the old "all in one" (SE, SE/30, Classic, Classic II) Macs in
with bad analog boards (they would make an evil buzzing noise one day, and
then just refuse to work...)

We would fix this by replacing the bad board, as you do, not repairing the
board itself.

My Classic II got left on over the weekend, and was found dead and
buzzing. It needs a new board. I was wondering if anyone knew what
component it was on the analog (or power/sweep) board that causes it to
die, so could fire up my soldering iron and have a go...

...much easier that enplaning to the aforementioned wife why I spent ?30 on
a computer that was free if i would remove it...

Take Care,

mark
