- I have a problem with a Mac Plus that I hope you folks in Net-Land help
- me with.
-
- When I turn the computer on, it makes a buzzing sound, the screen is dark,
- and distorted. After a few minutes, there is a smell like burning plastic,
- and the screen goes black. Between the time I turn it on, and the time the
- picture goes out, the system seems to work all right. The system will boot
- off the floppy disk, and the desktop appears.
-
- I understand that the flyback transformer seems the most likely cause of
- my problem, but I would like to know what else must also be replaced. Does
- the whole analog board need to be replaced? Is the analog board in the
- Mac Plus the same one that is in a Mac 512k?
-
- And finally, where is the best (cheapest) place to get whatever part(s) that
- I need to fix my Mac?
-
- All suggestions are welcome, and thanks in advance.
-
- David
