If this is an LVDS display ( dont know if it is or not), the gamma correction IC on the t-con likely failed. 

You sure it's not an OS install quirk? Or the GPU not being able to drive the OS?

Wish I had an answer to this but unfortunately not the case... just going to follow and hope something comes to the surface. Ive had a similar issue with a Dell CRT I was given. Ev…

I’ve been trying to reassemble at least one working Pismo from a collection of parts able to make one great unit and one functional unit—in theory. The machines belonged to a clien…

On that note, does anyone have or know of where to find Fuser or Fissioner? I'm not sure they're necessary at this point, but all the available tutorials seem to be specific to tho…

The font aspect I know is possible (in theory), though I'd have to track down my research on the font templates. At the time, this predated my use of emulators, so I had no deve…

On the Newton? I doubt it. Japanese is somewhat possible but even then the support isn't great. You'd have better luck turning off HWR and just letting it clean up what you draw.

I can't believe there'd be ingest on this list, and my research (years ago) never led me to conclude it's necessarily possible... By this I meant handwriting recognition sorry. A…

There was a P4 toshiba laptop designed the same way, the DC-DC board was bolted on with one of these, and it always caused problems

If you get one of these shipped it's a good idea to reseat everything anyway, even if it is screwed/latched down.

Ya, it is a piss-poor connector for sure. I thought the same thing after install, that a solid bump would free it.

It's that lousy connector. I have a Gateway Solo 9200 (PII@266MHz) which all the boards (Video, I/O, CPU, HD, Power) are sandwiched together by these connectors. It took a nasty fa…

That's definitely strange! I wonder if any other Macs have done something similar, and if so how many...

Yup, about mid-way. I would assume this could happen with an upgrade card when a driver loads. But odd on stock hardware. So not sure. It detected the defect and did not use the RA…

It said something about detecting a hardware defect later in the startup process? I'm intrigued now... how did it say it?

Well after reseating it a few times it now works. Looks like my base RAM is 16MB and the chip is 8MB for 24 total. Well back on the shelf I guess.

Im going to assume there is some defect with the RAM card I installed. But what threw me off is that it boots then halfway through startup it pauses to say something about a memory…

The 9550 uses a considerably slower core over a 9600(pro) - 250Mhz over 400Mhz - but some cards had the ability to be software/hardware modified to beome a 9600Pro in the PC world.…

I have a PC bios Radeon 9550 with 128MB VRAM. I was wondering if I could flash this with a downgrade Mac-compatible ROM to go in my newly purchased Dual-2.5GHz G5 Powermac 7,3. I …

Also, you can use the patched Apple SC HD Setup to format ZIP disks, and the OS will treat it like a regular hard disk. The only disadvantage of this is that ejecting is now a two …

If you plan on using a ZIP drive you will need the Iomega 4.2 driver in order for it to boot the Plus. That also brings up some questions about formatting with third party utilitie…

thanks for the pdfs :>

Yay! Thanks for those. I couldn't find them anywhere!

Spread the love!
