I wouldnt jerk it around too much I dont know if those jacks are attached to a board, but if they are you could cause some damage

I plugged the power cord into the SE the whole way, completely fine. It would not turn on. I wiggled it. It made electrical sparky noises, and I flipped the power switch on again. …

My recently-acquired IIfx (with Mac II top cover) came to me in an excessively grimy condition. Oddly enough, because it cleaned up so well, the layer of dirt may have actually pre…

Thats one ugly mofo.

a fast G4 upgrade Click to expand... Yeah, good luck with that. I've been trying to find a good price on one of these upgrades for months, with no luck at all. They regularly f…

Ambitious? Tell 'im 'e's dreamin'!

Egg cartons and icecube trays work nicely too.

I was curious as to why the eBay offering might have needed to be held—almost as if just the isolated rear and front panels were available for display—while it was having its pictu…

What's even more messed up is that right before I graduated, the school bought even more clones and those new clones used a slightly smaller version of the desktop version of that …

Yeah, most of the Tanzania clones simply used PC cases. The Mactell (hah, nice name) and APS M-Power systems (which were also Tanzania based from memory) also used the exact same c…

That same case design, except in a desktop form, was used by a bunch of PC clones we used to have in school. Kind of scary.

I remember reading about PowerTools in MacAddict back in the day...from memory they sold their machines in kit form, with no RAM, hard drive, video card or peripherals. Thats the f…

Perhaps as a result of my ineptitude with the search engine, I have seen/found no current/prior reference in these forums to this sale on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl…

When I was taking apart the first iBook, I used one paper cup for each "event". An event would be like: - Remove bottom plastic (and all the screws for this go into a cup) - Rem…

Yeah, I do the exact same thing....but then I bump the paper......and its all downhill after that :-/

Wow! 8-o I wish I was the seller. :lol:

I was loading Tiger onto an eMac. I booted off the external drive and opened Disk Utility and noticed the internal hard drive was red, and SMART status reported it was failing. I …

Down to the last one as of this posting

Here's the damage (sorry about the blurry shot)... [edit: okay, I'm apparently having issues linking to flickr...stay tuned here's the link for now: http://www.flickr.com/photos/…

Whenever I'm taking out screws, I lay them down on a piece of paper in roughly the arrangement they came out, and write and draw around them to make things clearer where they go ba…

I might be able to provide a donor Wallstreet, if you're interested. I'm not sure what I have on hand, but I have more than one in various states of nonfunctionality and it would b…

Well I got it to boot once... ...I had a Sonnet Crescendo G3 in there that seemed to be one cause of the problem. I also had to switch between the 2 SCSI connectors on the Logic B…

That's a shame - was the plastic around the hinge damaged too? Hopefully you can find a donor WSII/PDQ and transplant a new hinge on. Must have been a hefty fall - these machines…

Wallstreets have a bad hinge design, many died years ago from broken hinges that took out the video cable, and many these days have atleast one bad hinge that keeps the display fro…
