Just as an update. This is still on the docket, I'm talking to wthww about it right now, but I think this is our highest priority. Some errors with the infrastructure at our host c…

For reasons already mentioned by Cory5412, I have difficulty considering machines running older versions of Mac OS X to be "retro" anything, and I don't find the idea of using it t…
I did much soldering (TV, amplifier, radio etc.) BEFORE I bought my first computer (Amiga 500) 26 years ago.
And then I swapped one hobby with the new one.
Years later the par…

Well Macdrone I just meant that until either of us has successfully repaired a catastrophically damaged 3400c, I don't see any reason to stockpile boards that we can't clearly repa…

the 3400c I have, is 180Mhz. I pulled the battery out of it looong ago before it became a problem.
It did have weird issues with the ATA bus freezing up, and etc. Changing out th…

So that's very similar to the status of my repair board. Last thing I was doing was trying to replace little caps that hopefully regulate ADB - hence my request for the photos.

Yeah I've already "worked" on these enough time. In that stack there are ,
- a 200Mhz working fine but no ADB, so i don't care much about it cause i already have two fully work…

Progress : Just tried that SCSI trick, now the corroded 240Mhz board boots on a Zip. But unfortunately no ADB nor trackpad control, nothing.
So I get on the desktop and can do no…

The connectors won't fit. So no. There are probably also a slew of other incompatibilities.
But also if both VGA and a working 3400c screen don't work (I'm not sure actually abo…

You could try reassembling the all thing , and leave it unpowered but plugged to power brick for a night.
My Kanga was not booting one time, I think it was after changing the HD, …

I don't want to suggest you do anything that will harm the Kanga - particularly because I think it'll be difficult to find a new logic board - but at this point I would take the bo…

No I didn't take it out as I don't have anything to swap.
I cleaned a battery leaking PB 5300 logic board some weeks ago - which is working now, but I can't see anything wrong wit…

Wait. The 3400c display does not work with the Kanga? I thought that it did. If it doesn't then there are some more basic problems. I assume you have taken the logic board out …
