Recapping is regularly seen as the solution to all problems when it comes to repairing vintage computers. But sometimes, recapping doesn't do the trick. Dan from the Canadian Computer Collector has sent me his Macintosh Colour Classic which has been recapped but still isn't working. In this video I go through some important steps that will hopefully get this dead computer running again.
