I got myself an old Mac Classic but sadly the disk eject mechanism or electroic was faulty,.. well no problem.. |
I got this good old Mac Classic from willhaben.at at a price of 70 Eur with a bunch of original disks, the original bag and a printer. Very nice loot ! The seller stated that the disk which is in the mac wont come out.. so i took a look into the mac and discovered, that there was no disk in it but the whole mechanism was put down (as it does while loading a disk). Later i discovered that there was a disk in it haha,. the seller tried to insert a disk between the tray and the case of the mac leading to damage the disk mechanism.
So i disasembled everything, repaired the tray loading motor with some lubricant (it was completley stuck). After doing this i discovered that the motor wasnt controlled at all by the mainboard which means, that the motor driver must be defective. After some research i found a broken transistor which triggers the motor driver and replaced it with a normal BC548
Now everything works as it should and i startet to read all the shit which was stored and not deleted by the seller on this mac
