This guide will help you recap your Macintosh LC series power supply. This guide is for a TDK brand power supply from a Macintosh LC series sold in the USA. Similar power supplies are also present in the LC 475, Performa 400 series, Apple TV STB v3, and the Quadra 605 (aka “pizza box” Macs).

Important Note About Different Models:
Over the years these Macs shipped with different power supplies.
Please do NOT assume this guide will be a perfect match for yours. This guide covers the TDK model power supplies shown below, model 614-0003 and 699-0153. It is possible similar modeled units or different revisions may require different capacitors, so always check before ordering capacitors!
