== Maintenance and Troubleshooting == [[File:Apple Lisa repair.jpg|thumb|Apple Lisa (without cover)]] Aging Lisa units commonly require: * '''Capacitor replacement''' โ Electrolytic capacitors on the power supply and logic board often dry out, causing voltage ripple and instability. * '''Floppy drive service''' โ Twiggy drives need head alignment and lubrication; many owners retrofit Sony 3.5โณ mechanisms. * '''Hard drive care''' โ ProFile units benefit from lubrication of the spindle motor and occasional belt replacement. * '''Keyboard and mouse cleaning''' โ Contact oxidation in the detachable keyboard cable and mouse potentiometers can cause intermittent input. * '''Logic board reflow''' โ Rare VLSI chips and ROM sockets benefit from careful solder reflow to restore proper connections. For step-by-step procedures, see the dedicated [[Apple Lisa General Maintenance|Apple Lisa Maintenance Guide]], [[Apple Lisa Troubleshooting|Apple Lisa Troubleshooting Guide]] and [[Apple Lisa Capacitor Replacement Guide]] pages.
