a pop and a hiss

Submitted by Wayne on August 4, 2015 - 2:18pm

I was installing 6.0.3 to a hard drive when my stealth GS’s power supply gave a pop and a hiss and threw out a cloud of magic smoke. The IIgs kept going but I decided to shut down while investigating this. This is likely the original Astec power supply that came with it before the IIgs conversion. After opening the power supply up I found a component on the circuitboard right between the switch and power connector exuding black stuff. It’s marked 0,1uF on the top. It’s yellow, rectangular, about 1” long, ½” high and 3/8" thick. Anyone know what this is?

Repairing the Apple iigs keyboard key switches

Submitted by insanitor on July 23, 2015 - 1:29pm

The Apple iigs keyboard model A9M0330 key switch is comprised of several pieces. Three of which you can see on the outside and four you can see on the inside. Like the Apple iie key switch, the metal contacts fit inside slots which are located on the upper plastic piece. These are those contacts which when in contact together make a connection on the board where the switch is soldered onto. The key switch is a momentary push button single pole single throw normally open switch. The reasons for cleaning the switch are obvious.
