Macintosh Quadra 950 Issues

PRAM Battery leaks

The 1/2AA Lithium barrel battery used for keeping track of PRAM settings on the logic board is prone to leaking. Several brands were used, but all will leak with age. These leaks can be absolutely catastrophic, with extremely severe corrosion being common. In most of these cases, the board is unrecoverable. So, remove those batteries!


Power Supply Failure

The Q950 may not have any electrolytic caps on the logic board, but the same doesn't hold true on the Power Supply. If you have a dead Q950 PSU, give it a recap and see if it comes back to life.
