Resurrecting My Wallstreet — #16

OS X does support SCSI. I am unsure about the serial port and I know the DVD decoder does not work (I tried). Good job at stripping all those parts in 2 hours I must say. Would …

IT'S ALIVE!!! I did some tweaking, and it turns out the motherboard in my main WS is shot somehow. I put the sonnet in the donor, and it boots!! So, my next goal is to swap ALL th…

Actually, macdan has a solution that does not involve finding the same hinges (all three displays use different hinges, but the same clutch). All you need to do is pop off the clut…

On side note, is it worth taking apart a 233 no L2 fully working and installing a 266 in unknown shape? I was given a wallstreet 14" that has bad hinges and has been stripped of …

Yes, incompatible RAM will give you death chimes (same if you forget to put any RAM in like I did once). Generally PC100 and 133 is labled as such, PC66 generally isn't unless it i…

Resurrecting My Wallstreet — #3

yeah, the case on the other one is really beat up, so I might as well swap in the mobo. But the power board on the other one is loose, so I have to hold in the power plug. One new…

I'm no expert but it sounds like something on the logic board is screwy. If it was just the fan, I'd say it was a sensor but its the charging too that does it. Switch it all and …
