			The Performa 250 is an all-in-one colour compact Mac (10-inch Trinitron, 16 MHz 68030). See the Color Classic page for the analog-board, capacitor and "jail-bars" video diagnostics.

			== Common faults (shared with the Macintosh Color Classic) ==

			As with the Macintosh Color Classic, the first steps on any un-serviced unit are to '''replace the electrolytic capacitors''' and inspect for '''PRAM-battery leakage''' and its corrosion, then confirm the power-supply rails. Full detail, test points and fixes are on '''[[Macintosh Color Classic Troubleshooting]]'''.
