An iBook (12" 1.33GHz) purchased off of eBay arrived last week for one of my children, thus freeing up my old 12" 1.5GHz PowerBook that had been hers for homework in secondary scho…

I think you mean "rabbet" the edge . . . . . . as that's the name for the joint you've done in ASCII art (nice job, btw [] ]'&gt if I'm interpreting it correctly. …

Would anyone be willing to work on cap replacement on Mac Plus analog boards? If not I may just have to teach myself how to fix these things and start a service of my own. I love…

Looks very good, have you got "before" piccies?Which part do you need to mitre? :?: Click to expand... No before pictures, sorry. The LC 575 bezel is pretty different than t…

And they're back Nice work there.

Make sure you post plenty of pics along the way!

Images are down?

Take it apart, go buy a tub of Oxiclean, and deyellow that poor machine at once! (If you can spend 2 hours dremeling the bezel, you can spend a day deyellowing it.) Click to expa…

The powersupply is in another box. But it is down there too! I am hoping to keep everything looking almost normal on the Sawtooth case. Will get all the parts together over the …

Sounds like you shouldn't fire them up again until one of our resident flyback gurus passes judgment! :-/

Someone gave me 2 of these machines that he had in his attic since about 2001. they came from a local school district and has all the school programs on them. Well, i fired one of…

looks pretty good

I still need to mitre the edge so it'll fit nicely, but so far I think it's turned out great. Took me about 2 hours to dremel the whole thing. { "lightbox_close": "Clo…

Heck yeah, why not? Have a good look at some of the iMac and ATX-cased Mac hacks around the web. Do you have the original eMac power supply? That will save a lot of hassle.

In that case, the only other variable is the fact that the G3/500 is a copper one, though I don't remember if that introduced any performance enhancements, per se. Based on what I…

Yeah, that was my thought at first, but there aren't any caps right near where the apparent leakage is. And the closest one looks just fine. Also, I would have thought that leaky…

I went ahead and downloaded the XLR8 firmware block remover. I assume it also works for non-XLR8 G4's. The G3/500 is a Buffalo (Melco) HG3-G3500 with 1mb cache running at 250mhz…

Most of the "legit" Apple G3 modules have 1MB of L2 cache, which depending on the configuration of the /350 or /400 G4 chip, may actually cause the G3 to blow the G4 away in those …

I'd say it could be the caps, they seem to be reaching EOL on a lot of machines of this era (I have 2 LCII boards and 1 LC475 board, all from 1993 vintage machines that need recapp…
