Not bad. I hope for your sake the RAM has been upgraded - even though they use Duo RAM (which if you can find a Duo, is easy enough to find), they require a special right angle …

Hey, nice find. Post a pic.

I picked up a PowerBook 150 in excellent condition for $10. It works perfectly and seems to even have a working battery. The drive is empty but I'll be booting it up later tonight …

Well, I finally got that new display cable today. So I got right to it, I took apart my laptop and tried to fix it. Pics of repair. Sadly. It turns out to be the controller bo…

what have you attempted, thing with most commercial soldering jobs is that it is soldered on both sides of the board, as the holes are lined with copper or tin and it is risky biz …

I have been wanting to modify an Asante SE/30 ethernet adapter card to remove the stock pass-through connector and replace it with a right-angled connector. My attempts so far hav…

Digikey's 3.9uF cap worked great. Last time C1 blew, I just swapped analog boards. This time I repaired the original analog board by replacing C1 with the Digikey cap, swapped th…

On the same subject. I have a AGP 400mhz Gigabite that refuses to boot from the retail OS 9 CD. Tried 8.6 but no go. It tried from the CD 10.4 but it kernal panics. ideas? Cl…

It does sound like a dried out solder joint, somewhere in the red line. If it was a dying gun I wouldn't expect it to be intermittent at first. http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/monfa…

Had a similar issue - fixed by resoldering the cables going to the analogue board to the PCB plugged into the back of the tube. JB

The screen of my Color Classic would intermittently go off color - as in the red would become greenish and so on. It was intermittent a few weeks ago, now it seems to be off color…

I just want to point out in answer to the question in my original post, one should not attempt to use a normal 4uF electrolytic (polarized) cap in place of C1. C1 is a bipolar cap…

Replacing C1 fixes one of the major problems with the earliest analog boards, but replacing only that cap won't solve other problems created by other caps that are either weak or d…

I must admit that I've not yet seen the same amount of "leaking" Click to expand... heh from that era I bet they are "sealed" vs newer ones are safety vented, I wonder how many…

If I were set in changing C1 and only C1, it would not matter to me if the price was even $6 total, if that including shipping to me in Japan. Perhaps it would be more desirab…

I'm not worried about getting a discount on a $3 part. Mine arrived yesterday, I hope to find some time to do the repair and test the board some time this week. I bought a couple…

Sell the extras (for a reasonable price, of course), and you will make back your shipping and could be a benefit some users here (some of whom live outside the United States). But…

Just to harp back onto the Amiga for a sec, MorphOS now officially supports the G4 Mac Mini. You can download a trial version of the OS from here. And here's instructions on how to…

Since you're running System 7 there is an easy way to see if an extension or control panel (sometimes referred to as INITs and cdevs by old-timers) is causing a conflict. Start up …

I'll also mention that the whole problem with me unable to get into Open Firmware might have to do with the fact that the computer doesn't understand the keyboard properly. Even no…

I'm impatient so I burned at 8x which is the fastest my burner does (and my media is rated at). It all worked out, and I've got 10.4.11 running on my Mini now. The last image I got…

It's an interesting suggestion. My PB160 has a fairly poor greyscale display (which improves dramatically when set to display Black & White only), and I had a 145b that I h…
