This is not an Apple publication. It is a third-party book, and it is a secondary source: where it disagrees with Apple's own service documentation, the Apple document wins.

What it covers

[edit | edit source]

The third edition, revised for a Macintosh that had become a family. Lu writes in the preface that most of the introductory material from the first two editions was cut to make room for "the increasingly diverse range of hardware and software", and the book now covers the Mac Plus, the Mac SE and the Mac II alongside the original.

What it does not contain

[edit | edit source]
  • No parts lists, no component values and no schematics.
  • It is a general reference. For anything below module level on these machines use
 Macintosh Repair & Upgrade Secrets or The Dead Mac Scrolls.
