0x001B.1 - Macintosh Classic II Repair
About this video
After a Macintosh Classic II turned unreliable, Tech Tangents opens the case and cleans leaked electrolytic fluid off the board, calling it a stopgap until the capacitors are replaced.
Good to know: The built-in tube and flyback hold a high voltage charge after unplugging. A knocked or cracked tube can implode, so protect your eyes and never lift it by the neck. Mains voltage is inside the set. Leaked electrolyte is corrosive.
Why watch it
Temporary by the maker's own account, since cleaning treats a symptom and a recap is still due. They also mention a dishwasher method that they chose not to try.
