I have a Apple MacIntosh Performa 5260/120 that does not turn on. I have checked cables and electrical outlet and no problems. Nothing is happening, no screen, no bip, no noise, nothing. Can you help please ?
i just got mine from a friend but i'm not ready to open it up yet. one possible reason it is not working was that it is still too cold. it needs 50 degree f to operate. if that helps or if you can help me

This unit never came with AA batteries, chances are removing the logic board and replacing the board caused the unit to work, but I believe it will only work for a short period of time.This unit never came with AA batteries, chances are removing the logic board and replacing the board caused the unit to work, but I believe it will only work for a short period of time.

The Apple Performa has a VGA video output, so any monitor with that has a VGA input/cable with it will work fine. You can find these monitors at places like Best Buy, Tiger Direct, New Egg, etc.
The only question left is how much are you looking to spend on a monitor.
What are the system requirements for using this printer?

As I recall, this is a SCSI device. Like many electrical connectors, SCSI connectors can develop a light corrosion which can keep the signals from being transmitted. The easiest way to clean such light corrosion is to shut down the Mac & power down *all* SCSI devices in the chain. Then gently unplug & replug all SCSI connectors. This will scrape off much of the corrosion & usually results in connectivity being restored. Be sure to unplug and replug the SCSI terminator attached to the last device in the SCSI chain. Restart by powering up the SCSI devices and finally restarting the Mac. Good luck!

For USB Interface Cable Users For Mac OS® 9.1 to 9.2 & Software 1 Turn off and

drivers. If the language screen appears,
select your language. 5 Click MFL-Pro Suite to install. 6 Follow the
on-screen instructions, and restart your Macintosh. 7 Connect the USB
interface cable to your Macintosh, and then connect it to the MFC. DO NOT connect the MFC to a USB port on a keyboard or a nonpowered USB hub. 8 Plug in the power
cord and turn on the MFC. 9 From the Apple menu,
open the Chooser. 10 Click the Brother Laser icon. On the right side of the Chooser, select the MFC to which you want to print. Close the Chooser. The MFL-Pro Suite, Printer driver and Scanner driver have been
