Brown noted that Apple's LC III may contain a critical hardware error similar to a 'copy/paste' mistake in coding, pointing out issues with capacitor installations.
Expanding on the overlooked issue, Brown explained that the specific rail was rarely used, which led to the capacitor's faults going unnoticed for many years.
He advised rehabbers to disregard Apple’s markings for installation, emphasizing the importance of ensuring that capacitors are installed correctly to avoid future failures.
Brown highlighted that modern restorers typically choose tantalum capacitors for replacements due to their stability, although they can be more susceptible to catastrophic failure under voltage stress.
