Well, my Mac Plus power supply is blown again (3rd time). Does anyone have any experience with powersupply repair places? I've heard that Maya Computer (1-800-541-2318), somewhere in New England will do board level repairs ($89) or completely rework the board, replacing every capaciter and the flyback transformer with "better" components ($125). I've also heard that TSI in Oregon (1-800-874-2288) will perform similar work -- but I don't know the prices. (TSI makes accellerator boards as well.) Has anyone had good/bad experiences with either of these places? Can anyone recommend other board level repair shops? Thanks! --Walter _____________________________________________________________________________ Walter Carlip **** carlip@ace.cs.ohiou.edu **** (the "3" is invisible) **** c3ar@finite.chi.il.us **** _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ Walter Carlip **** carlip@ace.cs.ohiou.edu **** (the "3" is invisible) **** c3ar@finite.chi.il.us **** _____________________________________________________________________________

Their number is (503) 461-1136. If you can solder and have a digital multi-meter, you can buy Larry Pina's book Mac Repair & Upgrade Secrets and buy the upgrade kit from Softsolutions and put it in yourself (you get your Mac back working quicker!) -Owen Owen Hartnett omh@cs.brown.edu.CSNET Brown University Computer Science omh@cs.brown.edu uunet!brunix!omh "Don't wait up for me tonight because I won't be home for a month."
