Power Macintosh 5300
The Power Macintosh 5300 (sold as the Power Macintosh 5300/100 LC) is the education-market counterpart of the Macintosh Performa 5300CD: the 5200 all-in-one with a 100 MHz PowerPC 603e in place of the 75 MHz 603. Apple dates it 28 August 1995.[1] Wikipedia notes that the 5300 LC kept the rest of the 5200's Quadra 630-derived design and that both were sold mainly to North American schools.[2] Apple services it with the 5200 and the Performa 5200CD, 5215CD, 5300CD and 5320CD in one manual.[3]

Repair Extension Program and known faults
[edit | edit source]Apple's Repair Extension Program for system freezes and colour-hue changes covers the Power Macintosh 5300/100 LC, as it does the 5200/75 LC and the Performa 5200, 5215 and 5300. Open Transport 1.1 does not work on these machines; they need 1.1.1, which will not install until an affected cache/ROM DIMM has been replaced under the program (p. 7).[3] Apple's checks, the version B board fault and the community notes on serial handshaking and SCSI termination are on Macintosh Performa 5300CD#Known faults and Macintosh Performa 5200#Repair Extension Program.
To tell the original and Rev. B versions apart, remove the front bezel: speakers in the bezel mean the original version, speakers on the sides of the metal chassis mean Rev. B. The rear label reads 620-0635 or 620-0835 on the original version and 620-0637 or 620-0837 on Rev. B (pp. 4–5).[3]
Clock battery and safety
[edit | edit source]The clock battery is a 4.5 V alkaline pack, so any leakage is alkaline.[1] See Battery Explosion, Capacitor or Corrosion Damage.
The analogue board and CRT carry lethal voltages. Follow the CRT Discharge Procedure before working inside the case.
