Applemac M0001 P schematic
A friend has asked if I can look at this early apple computer which appears to have no eht and nothing on the screen. I am prepared to have a go but need some assistance in the form of a circuit diagram or service manual. Can anyone help or advise?

Re: Applemac M0001 P schematic
These were difficult to get hold of. They used to be supplied printed in black on brown paper which made them impossible to photocopy. I used to fix these computers day after day but I've no idea where the schematics are now.
I'll try and remember the problems we had with the early power supply sections, mostly dry joints I think. They were convection cooled and the EHT section was at the top of the vertical board. Have a poke around, see if there's anything obvious and give me a shout. I'll try and activate the on-board memory and see if I can remember anything helpful.

Re: Applemac M0001 P schematic
jim221,
Is this a 1984s style all-in-one Mac? If so then I once came across one that did not work (no chime sound) - until I reseated a prom in a plug-in socket on the mother-board. Another tip: there were some Mac models of that era that would not start up if the cmos battery was flat. |

Re: Applemac M0001 P schematic
Yes, that's the one. I remember both those faults, although only on older machines.
Does it 'bong' on power-up? Is the brightness control turned up (thumb wheel on the lower LHS of the screen)? Is the CRT heater visible? What happens when you put a floppy in the slot?
