I'll throw my hat in the ring, I guess.
First one that is going to be resurrected hopefully today or tomorrow (got the parts, a friend will help solder 'em in, pesky SMD caps!)
- Macintosh LC II (typical, bad caps everywhere)
The semi-working, sort-of dead, Macs:
- 2007 MacBook Pro Santa Rosa, boots and overheats, the battery puffed up and my brother destroyed the keyboard, but it still boots but either gets stuck when loading Windows (oh the horror!), overheats and goes into thermal shutdown or kernel panics on Linux. <--- need to further check what's wrong with it. Could be considered as severly wounded given the shape it's in.
- iMac G3/400, hard drive is on its last legs, but it wants to try and boot. I'm hesitant to put it on the list here. Sometimes the raster geometry on the screen is messed up (and the tube has a small ding near the top... Ugh...)
And two I'm not even sure if they work:
- 2006 Mac Mini Core Solo, no PSU, has signs of having been tampered with, it's been on the back burner since... Ever I got it, it's next in line after the LC II. It's as if the previous owners tried to pry the hard drive apart but stopped mid-way... And left it loose in the case like that... Odd.
- 2008 iMac A1225 24in, got it from a relative, the deal is, if I can get it working and pull all of its files off the HDD, I get to keep the machine. The PSU kicked the bucket, I get no power on its output, no LEDs on the logic board... I'm hoping the new PSU I ordered will show up tomorrow so I can get to see if this thing even works. I have good hopes that it'll just fire up as if nothing happened. Has a lot of "battle scars" such as scuffs, stains dirt and grime, but that's to be expected for a 15 years old machine.
Edit: The A1225 lives! I put in a SSD with a install of Lubuntu 20.04, and it fired right up! One off my list of dead macs!
