Re: Suspect Bad PS Apple AcBel API 1PC36

Many thanks for the drawings. It made me the work shorter! Now all works again!! I checked with ESR/Capacity meter and only 2 caps gave me bad measures, the small ones (0,47uF and 47 uF. The other seemed still good. In any case now PSU is renewed!!

Re: Suspect Bad PS Apple AcBel API 1PC36

Hi, my G4 MDD (dual 1,25) did not turn on, nor the power button on the monitor ADC. So I recapped on the PSU C43 (100uF/25) and C60 (1000uF/10). Now the light on power button of ADC monitor turn on, but no chime and no life signs on the computer. Besides this it is very difficult to know where the critical caps are located. I bought all the caps in the list "MDD PS Replacement Caps as Used 20th Oct-2.pdf", but until now only 2 substituted. Could you suggest me where to find the critical on the list, if you have just done this work?...
