i think this has been discussed previously so i will apologize in advance for the re-hash. my mac has been exhibiting symptoms typical of the 'bad flyback transformer' and i am interested in replacing it myself rather than having a dealer replace the analog board. questions: after de-soldering the transformer how do i detach it from the cup that is attached to the crt, or do i have to detach the cup from the crt ? when i buy a replacment transformer will it include the cup ? answers to the above questions and any other related tips will be greatly appreciated. e-mail or posted responses accepted, i will post a summary if interest warrants. thanks, spud@metasoft.UUCP

I too am having a power supply problem. My Mac (128 updgraded to 512e with Apple & MacMemory upgrades) went dead (screen dark, etc.) suddendly. All I get now is a rapid clicking sound (apparently from the speaker) My local dealer quoted $170 to swap power supplies. Does anyone have any ideas for repair/replacement that won't cost quite so much? Again, send mail and I'll summarize. Thanks, Robert -- Robert K.
