Macintosh Performa 6110CD: Difference between revisions
Red-link sweep: retarget delegation links to the pages that actually exist (LC 550/LC 580/Performa 6100 sub-pages do not, the Performa 550/580 and Power Macintosh 6100 ones do), fix the malformed 'Macintosh Power Macintosh 5400' title, and de-link targets with no page |
Rewrite as the Performa 6100 series page: model table from Apple spec sheets and the newly hosted Performa 6100 Series Service Source; fix 601 cache (32K unified), serial ports (mini DIN-9), drive sizes (6116CD 700 MB, 6117CD 350 MB); add symptom charts, battery and reset procedure; remove invented bundle lists and nonexistent category |

The Performa 6100 series is serviced as a [[Power Macintosh 6100]]/60. Apple's ''Power Macintosh 6100/WS 6150'' Service Source covers the same logic board and adds the procedures the Performa volume leaves out.<ref name="ss6100">Apple Computer, ''Power Macintosh 6100/WS 6150'' Service Source, [[:File:Powermac 6100 series.pdf]]; see [[Power Macintosh 6100/ WS 6150 Service Source]]. PDF page numbers: Symptom Charts pp. 40-56; Battery Verification pp. 102-103; Battery Replacement pp. 104-106; Reset Logic Board pp. 107-112.</ref> | |||
< | SIMMs go in matched pairs of the same size and speed and must be non-composite; when About This Macintosh reports more or less memory than is fitted, Apple's first check is the pairing.<ref name="ssp" /> | ||
The battery is a 3.6 V lithium cell on the logic board.<ref name="apple6110" /> Apple's test is to measure it on the 10 V DC range and replace it below 3.2 V.<ref name="ss6100" /> Neutralise leakage from a lithium cell with bicarbonate of soda; see [[Battery Explosion, Capacitor or Corrosion Damage]]. | |||
For a machine that will not power up, Apple's first step is to reset the logic board: unplug the computer, take the battery out of its holder, press the power button, disconnect the power supply cable from the logic board and wait 5-10 minutes before refitting the battery and cable. This also clears PRAM.<ref name="ss6100" /> | |||
