> Does "precipitate" mean fall from above? Yes, pretty much. It almost appears like the capacitor goop went into a vapor phase and then more or less precipitated out onto …

Congrats on your find geeko! I wonder if they have any batteries, and if they are any good. Anyway, the PowerBook G3 Lombard was the first PowerBook to use the New World ROM. A…

Thanks for confirming that it works for someone besides me! What resolution are you running the 8600 at with it? I'll have to do some coding before I can post the TwinTurbo versio…

It does tend to spread, as it seems to behave like any oily film. Does "precipitate" mean fall from above? In this case, I suppose that the caps might have vented/ squirted their c…

Noidentity, This worked great on my 8600 built-in video. Can you post the version for the 9600? I have a Twin-Turbo 128 M8A that I think is the same as the 9600 PCI card. Thank…

It seems just disassembling and reassembling all the parts somehow got it back up and running. Click to expand... Strong evidence of bad solder joints on a connector somewhere.…

Thanks H3NRY. I'll probably wait on the QS CPU upgrade till I transfer the Cube logic into a CC or SE- there should be plenty of room to work with then.

It could of just been a wire that was lose, but happy the computer is working know

The real problem with a QS CPU in a cube isn't the buss speed, it's making it fit physically. If you figure that out, post pictures. I have a QS dual 867 CPU that I'd like to use i…

Just a tip for the scrues, use those plastic pill day timer things and label them

Toni_: does that mean you now have all of the IM library? Click to expand... I think I'm still missing a bunch of them... at least QuickTime, Sound and the QuickDraw GX books. …

Well, I'm not sure I wanna tackle the mods needed to run the 133MHz bus DP1GHz on the 100MHz bus of the Cube. So the DP500 might yet end up in there instead. By the way, picked t…

You can make an adapter to hook the drive to a regular SCSI & power cable, but I've never heard of anyone actually doing that. Click to expand... MicroMac sold an adapt…

It's a good idea to check the caps first and see if the motherboard's repairable in it's current state.

dang I knew I left mine somewhere

The Portable has a few of oddities. It's basically a low power 16MHz CMOS MAC SE. It requires more juice to spin up the HD than the AC adapter can supply, so it needs a charged bat…

Kinda makes the DP500 I just picked up for it a little redundant Click to expand... Renderbox for say, MP3 encoding or video encoding? I know it's a slower machine, but....

Okay. I've reassembled the SE/30 and did a voltage measurement just as JDW mentioned. I am getting between 5.00V and 5.01V DC through the floppy port. The SE/30 is powered on, s…
