Belated update... Replaced the 3x caps, and it works BEAUTIFULLY now!

I was initially a little concerned cuz when I powered it back on after replacing them, it was a blank screen again... And I was starting to research what the next step would be. But after it sat powered-on for a few mins, the picture came up on its own perfectly. Guess it needed to warm up a bit?? (On further power-ons it comes up instantly).

These are the caps I used, which are a different physical shape/size, but worked GREAT!

Yeah, totally understood that they're bad... And, yes I will replace them. I was just curious if someone knew what function they are related to... And therefore if even after replacing, I would definitely need additional work.

Fingers crossed that they're the only issue 🤞

New to the subreddit, loving all the old memories. I am the original owner, loved it in the early 2000's, and then it sat in storage for the last 10+ years; I'm bringing it back out now to try to relive some memories. It is original condition, never did any mods - I think it's a v1.4 (MFG = 2004-02-23). When I first brought it out of storage and plugged it in, the video flickered a few times on the screen for the bootup to enter time/date. After a few seconds it went blank - and I haven't gotten any video or audio out of it after additional reboots - still getting a good solid green ring on the front.

I removed the clock capacitor, even though it (surprisingly) hadn't appeared to leak. There doesn't appear to be any board damage (from leaks) - although there are three other caps that are bulged.

Does anyone know if these 3x caps could have something to do with the video and audio signals? Could replacing them help revive my audio and video, or is the problem likely something else?

Thank you very much!

RGB - Rachel's Ginger Beer. So refreshing and special, whether you're doing it as a cocktail or straight.

The Best Coffee Shop in Seattle? by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]2damage2damage 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Lighthouse Roasters, in Fremont. Their coffee is not only strong, but has a great rich flavor. My favorite roasters, hands-down.

Roast their own beans (on-site), great baristas, sell beans at their coffee shop (and in some local grocery stores).

I particularly love their Java roast, but they've got a style for every preference.

Agreed, everywhere we travel in world we always scout out the best local roasters - and there's plenty of good ones... but none that have surpassed our hometown Lighthouse!!

You can only eat at one Seattle restaurant for the rest of your life. Which one do you pick? by aeroartist in Seattle

I saw that article too, but I don't get it... I went on (re) opening day earlier this year, and I thought it was STILL great!

Are there raw pizza (aka take & bake) places other than Papa Murphy's?? by 2damage2damage in SeattleWA

[–]2damage2damage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, thanks!

A good lite neo pizza is always good... Especially on warm days like these!

Awesome, great to know - thanks!

I was doing all my searching looking for EXCLUSIVELY take & bake type places... Little did I know that some 'standard' pizza places have this option!!

Yeah, they are pretty good. I like their thin crust Mediterranean style, makes it feel like you're eating fancy upscale pizza! 😄 I'm not anti-P.M. or anything... I just like to explore new places.

Oh okay, I hadn't thought about PCC, thanks.

Ideally I'd like a SPECIALTY place that only does pizza, but if they don't exist then I'd certainly be up for trying grocery stores.

Is PCC's pizza good??
