Goodwill ComputerWorks - Austin decided to resume selling older hardware. The result was an afternoon of 68k conquest: Quadra 605 LC III IIsi Atari 1040 STE unused - CIB Atar…

Will probably attempt the repair today. I have 2 chances to get this right (2 logic boards) but i'd like to get it right the first time around. Although we don't have the fine tip …

My iBook has the same problem. I might be tempted to rip it open and re-solder the GPU when I have some time. I've only had it a few weeks before it failed, but during that time I…

You guys are probably right. I was pretty much certain my memories were wrong, but anyway. I hadn't seen a SE/30 since that one when I got mine a couple of weeks ago, so I thought …

Minutes after posting I found this, and thought it would fit on topic…

Oh, okay. Guess I was wrong about the C1 being replaced. Since it didn't look like the other capacitors, I just assumed it was a replacement made by some other company...oh well.…

If MacPlayMate is simply a runtime engine for Comic Works or Video Works or whatever, there's an opportunity for fun. Click to expand... It is, for VideoWorks. And it is fun… …

That C1 is the same exact C1 cap used in some of my newer "stock condition" analog boards, all with factory hot-glue applied: 630-0102-E 661-0462 And here is an unmodif…

Well... the newest iBook exhibited a system lockup due to that chip this morning. Until now it had a pretty good run, 26 hours and counting without a hitch then as soon as it power…

I have the Same iBook as well. No solder problem though.

Hey, Using hot glue to fix that little chip on iBook G4 isn't what I'd do - it'll just fail again within time and be a right royal bugger to remove (and you'll probably rip off the…

I love my ibook it is an 800mhz g3 ibook, I'd really love to have a G4 ibook to replace it, but at the price I'd find a g4 ibook in I'd probally just get an msi wind (if only they …

I am keeping one eye out for a cheap one of those. I also have the 12" iBook G3 600 and I really like it. I got it to use when traveling. But I'd like to get the G4 because, well, …

I know, my history with iBook G4s isn't all that fantastic. In my nature though I had to try... this little machine is another victim of the "fractured solder syndrome" that plague…

ADC was doomed from the start because it powered the monitor. That means laptop users have to buy bulky extrenally-powered converter boxes and it also means yet-more auxiliary powe…

Leopard should run just fine on that card. While the Ti3200 is indeed far faster and a more capable GPU than the Rage128 card it came with, I am concerned that it may not support c…

really the main point of hot glue is to hold the larger / top heavy components in place as they scurry down a convener belt during assembly Secondary it provides a little bit of p…

Under 18s: please move on. Mike Saenz wrote the ever entertaining MacPlayMate and Wikipedia associates him with authorship of Comic Works. My twenty year old recollection of MacPl…

Using hot glue is advised if the computer is going to experience a lot of vibration. In an ordinary home desktop environment, it's unlikely that you'll need to use glue. I have a f…
