Argggg….Due to the fans starting really soon after boot, wanted to change the thermal paste, so disassembled it. Was very difficult to remove the board. It was …

I just finished fixing up a Mac 512K. It works like new, including the internal floppy drive. But the external 400K drive is making me mad. It is a SONY OA-D34V…

When the disk is inserted, the read heads go straight to the center, stop, then eject the disk. Is this just a disk drive issue or does it go deeper?
So I listed my powerbook 140 for sale in the marketplace, and this weekend i thought id test it to make sure it still works. Dead. Got my Fluke 117 Multimeter, …
