I always use a hard disk -- one that is usable but disposable -- for 12V and 5V testing. It is easy to make a test cable (with tapping points to measure voltages) from salvaged wir…

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…

Have you tried removing the SATA card and just using the IDE drive?

The Apple II power-supply is fairly "intelligent". If it detects a no-load situation (that is, nothing is taking the electricity), it will short-circuit itself indefinitely. This w…

This thread gives details of the cells needed to replace your backup battery. They are common and cheap, I found that the soldering was not especially difficult, and the replacemen…

well, to get it working in OS9, I downloaded and installed the latest software for airport for 9, version 2.0.4. The earlier versions don't work with the wavelan cards, but this on…

Ok, I found my images, burned them, and now I remember why I stopped using it on the WS. Even with the 10.2.8 update, every time it reboots, the backlight is off. I have to press …

I have been in and out of my wallstreets (5 of them) so much I can probably do it in 30 minutes or less. Easier to get into then other laptops that is for sure, then again they ar…

Well, I did not really care about the casing on the donor book. I was gonna scrap it anyways, since the thing is held together with scotch tape in places 8-o Part of the trackpa…

Well, there is a firmware update for the processor card it's self, as well as a driver for it. I think I need to install the driver first, and I wonder if the firmware can be insta…

Wallstreets cannot get firmware updates do they? I would email their tech support and ask them what is wrong, and if they cannot get it working send the thing back (if there is a w…

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 …
