The Macintosh Performa 200 is a Macintosh Performa rebadge of the Macintosh Classic II — the two are the same hardware, sold under different names and bundles.[1] Because the logic board, analog board and power supply are identical, the Macintosh Classic / Classic II Troubleshooting page applies in full: use it for power, video, capacitor, storage and audio diagnosis.
The Performa 200 is an all-in-one compact Mac with a 16 MHz 68030 and a 9-inch monochrome CRT. Like the Classic II it is very prone to leaking surface-mount capacitors, which cause no-boot and distorted-sound faults.
Common faults (shared with the Macintosh Classic II)
As with the Macintosh Classic II, 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 Classic / Classic II Troubleshooting.
