You need Trackpad Climate Control. Works wonders.

Here is a really nice Macintosh LC II with max RAM/VRAM and a Sonnet Presto Plus w/ethernet and FPU. Fair price for what you're getting too. Link Click to expand... The BIN is a …

Yep, just water from the basement drain backing up (ground water from around the house). I think it was under water less than 10 hours - not sure since I wasn't home when it happe…

Alright, so I have a nice PowerBook Duo 2300c here with OS 8.1 and 12 MB of RAM, and for my first Duo, I really like it. It does have one issue though; the trackpad acts up, so the…

Apple is semi unique in the fact that they do control their own market (in a royal pita 1980's way) but I often wonder about "the man" and his choices Imagine a world in which app…

I'm curious about this Silenx fan. I've seen SEs with various fans (DC Pico Ace, Elina Fan, the notorious "rat cage") but have never seen one of these in a stock SE. Of those three…

Just water from the storm drain backing up? How long was it under water? Can you take a picture? I would gut it and wash it to get rid of anything the water carried and then dry i…

The hinges having play can be fixed by tightening the screws attaching the hinge to the case. (If it isnt the spring in the hinge.)

I remember watching the video of Steve Jobs saying that they had to eliminate all the clones to get back to business. But that hasn't stopped me :0 I Hackintoshed my MSI Wind.

Wow thats really strange. Why don't they dry up? what happened to them? Freecycle is pretty awesome IMO. Does anyone know about how to fix the play that the hinges have? And ano…

WTF. 8-o

Weird - seems like a video chipset issue, or a video driver issue.

I got a free PB150 off Freecycle last year. Definitely remove the rest of the rubber feet - they never harden up again and they're sticky and disgusting. It takes a number of Q-Tip…

Cool thanks for the info Byrd! Will these ever dry? Or should I just scrape it all off?

but it's just so bizzare cos the computer will see the cd rom, but not the hard drives... Click to expand... Get "SCSI Probe" onto the case. It will tell you exactly what the c…

I got the 840av working and had two hard drives... a faithfull 4.3 gig and a 1.2 Gb. But the smaller drive kept on being there one time, but then not being seen the next. So I ass…

My PowerBook has done this for a loooong time now, but only tonight have I managed to snap some clear shots of this phenomena occuring. Wake the machine from sleep sometimes and ev…

Looks awesome; one day I'd like to do a project as hefty as that. Also, props for running Mac Hut.

If it was flood-water, chances are that the water wasn't clean. That means trouble. I would suggest pulling the whole thing apart. Pull out the socketed chips too, just record w…

Yep, I kept my Mac II going great for years, temporarily had it on my basement floor and it flooded. Completely submerged the Mac II and likely some of the monitor as well. Cables …

Good work, looks like fun

I started the restoration of the Macintosh SE today. It had been sitting with its cover off for a week, and had been sitting for a week before that. Today I made my CRT discharge t…

Nice score, if anything the passive matrix screen in PB150's isn't bad. The "melting plastic" would be what's left of the worn out case feet I've come across a few PBs with th…
