PowerBook 190 strange behavior — #11

The acetone+alcool combination seems to have produced some effect, but I'm not sure if this is to be interpreted as a positive progress or a bad sign. Apparently, the system now *…

PowerBook 190 strange behavior — #10

Damaged traces on IIvi - repairable? — #3

Hmm. How much would you charge for a recap? Are you reasonably sure that the caps are the problem or could I have put it back together wrong? heheh

Damaged traces on IIvi - repairable? — #1

I posted this IIvi over on the trading post, but I figured I'd ask here about this specific problem. When it went away in storage about 10 years ago, the colours on the display we…

Actually, P86 is apparently the eMac's name. This FCC testing document for the Airport Extreme has pictures of the eMac but says "P86" or "P86 EMAC". { "lightbox_close": "…

I don't know, but the 1GHz iMac G4 benchmarks slower than the 1GHz eMac, despite the iMac using DDR and the eMac PC133. And I wasn't saying it's a fake or anything, just that you …

It does not help too that Apple's modeling number system is a joke. MacTracker shows 5 "models". 700/800mhz April 2002-May 2003 800/1000mhz May 2003-Oct 2003 1000mhz Oct 2003-Ap…
