Apple /// Power Supply

In fact, you should be GLAD when a capacitor poofs in yer p/s. It's VERY easy to diagnose what went wrong (ye can smell it, and oh don't it smell nice. I ain't kidding. I LIKE the smell of toasty caps. And machine oil too). And there's only 2 leads. A very easy job. You DO NOT need any test equipment. A schematic is necessary, yes, but I know the value of that cap could be found out by someone on this list, or some other place on the net. Apple 3 parts may not be so common, but docs for it shouldn't be hard to find at all. I'll bet someone (though not me) could guess the value of that capacitor, and would be pretty close too. I'll wager that this is probably THE least arduous of all faults/repairs having to do with an older computer. So easy it's a joke. ____________________________________________________________________________________Be a better Heartthrob. Get better relationship answers from someone who knows. Yahoo!
