My school still uses some G3 iBooks and I see this hapenning to them VERY soon... And I'll have to arm up with a heat gun.
I was trying to fix the BGA by putting a small candle cu…
I'll always love the iBooks though and look forward to the day when I finally have the resources to repair one. (I can do the BGA's on the GPU, just not that little sub-processor c…

I'd be trying another monitor. Seriously, as Gil said, the MS 15" displays were shocking, even back in the day. I bet if you try another monitor, you'll find that there is nothing …

Mine's on its last legs, it's fallen apart and the solder joints have fractured numerous times... it packed up again today. However I still love the computer for the times it did w…
So I picked up an Apple IIe with a Disk ][ from the local Goodwill.
I want to buy some disks to use, but my google-fu is failing me. I seem to recall that it requires hard sectore…

The Goodwill here rarely sells computers.
However, one time I went there, they had tons and tons of them. Two Sun Ultra 5s, ~15 PCs, and ~5 laptops (including a heavily upgraded P…

. . . recoupment? I'm not sure what to call my latest . . . re-acquisition!
When I was in Philly, my (very wonderful) ex-wife brought down a few boxes of goodies. My Bell &a…

Most thrift stores for some reason have this aversion to computers.
Goodwill, while not serving our particular interests well (crushing old Macs), is actually the only store I've …
