Ok. A nice video to end this topic! I have build in the widget drive. It still gets its power form an external PSU. A plain normai cheap power unit from an old computer. I ripped o…

Really not much of a challenge.  I did just this (involuntarily) last month, and it really wasn't too painful.  My Retina MacBook died (the backlight would come on, the fans would …

Mine runs SSW 7 - I even have the restore CD for it.  Works great

S short for STN, otherwise super twisted nematic.

Yes. It is easy. Just 5 or 6 small screws reachable from inside. I washed them in a bath with washing powder and they look nice and clean now. I also removed the two bottom plates …

I could never figure out how to remove the side panels.  Is it easy?

Ah okay. I didn't see the skeleton of the metal frame or the drive cage.

A1106. 

Here are some more pictures. Side panels are off. I'm cleaning the plastic. My desk has not much space .... View attachment 6614

Is it an A1106 or A1095? c

What the heck are you displaying that on? The picture is too dark to tell but it doesn't look like a Lisa, even with the front bezel missing.

@tanuki65 Repairing the Lisa is not in this post. I will report later about this. Just like to inform all followers of this post that the Widget is working. Thats GREAT news if y…

I thought your Lisa had no logic/mother board? Edit: I love Lisas, but I cannot justify spending US$1000 on a computer I can't upgrade/repair (10 000 volts on a CRT).

BREAKING NEWS!!!! With some spare parts I could test my Widget drive. And.... It is alive!!! The Lisa boots up nicely from it. So my efforts to revive it a succes! See pictures: …

A 15" PowerBook G4 (1.5GHz, 2GB RAM, 40GB HDD) has been ordered! I also ordered an 80GB Western Digital 9.5mm 2.5" IDE hard drive, which I will upgrade it with.

If you haven't already bought a TiBook, don't. They're very pretty, but they're a pain to take apart and maintain and they're quite physically unreliable. I also never found them t…

47Hz: which makes sense, in order to bring the line frequency back into the correct range, you have to lower the refresh rate. Higher refresh rates require a faster beam to scan th…

uniserver said: the one thing i do not like about the 640x480 mod, is the 47HZ refresh rate... i mean 60hz is bad enough. seems when i get mystified A/B's in the caps are ex…

techknight said: the guy who figured out the 640x480 mod, I have no idea how he figured it out. Maybe it came from an internal apple employee, or repair guy. Hard to say.  …

I would think that IF a platinum face plate exists from the original design it would be an ED model sold in Europe. Seems education models had the most variants over there. I almos…

Would a standard PC mini-USB drive work if I used a mini-USB to 2 USB ports cable? Edit: Would a powered hub help? I can't find the cable. Edit 2: The model I'm getting has USB 2…

It doesn't. The USB SuperDrive requires a modern Mac without an internal SuperDrive, it takes more power from the USB ports. MacBook Pro with Retina display MacBook Air iMac (lat…
