Also use a low-wattage soldering iron. By such means, you are less likely to ruin the components that get re-used, and less likely to compromise the brand new cells, Click to ex…

Yes, and it is not especially difficult. There are excellent, idiot-proof instructions on the web. My one piece of additional advice would be to used leaded solder, as its melting…

Nice work! It's good to see a quick-start for using MPW. One note, pressing 'command-return' is equivalent to using 'enter' on the numpad. @Nathan: I'm fairly certain you can comp…

Failing flybacks can occasionally cause the screen to go out of focus too, or slowly shift focus as it warms up.

What are some of the signs of a flyback transformer that is bad or going bad?

The idiot being me, of course I have a 2100 sitting around, and the battery is just about toast. I'd like to get my hands on the AA battery tray, but Newton bits & pie…

Pluses have a beige case, though. How can they yellow? I thought the platinum colored Macs were the ones with yellowing issues. Click to expand... They just turn "more" yellow.…

Very nice! Kudos on adding that.

Cool, keep it coming. Can you do 68K programming on a PPC Mac?

I have Never seen the silvery coating in any 128,512, Ke, or Plus... Click to expand... Neither have I. My eyes have only see the matte gray coating that feels slightly rough …

I think most of them have the coating, even as far back as the 128k. My 128k has it, I just assumed they all did. Here's a photo of the guts of a 128k, with the coating:http://kcom…

I started scraping away the coating using a putty knife. Seems to work pretty well, although I will have to finish it up with sandpaper. Will post results when I finish.

I added a basic 68k programming guide to the wiki. Right now it just covers installing MPW and compiling a basic program, but the next tutorial will go more in-depth and cover aspe…

Oh, and back on topic: If you are going to have to rewrite your theme anyway, why waste your time with phpBB? You would be better off just making your current forum an archive and…

I'd like to thank everyone for their help, I finally got around to messing with the iBook again. I did what you said Phreakout, but Stuffit still wouldn't open. First Disk Aid sai…

I'll try that tonight and see if it helps any. Maybe it will stop chirring and fire up.

Anyway, my question is--have I destroyed my Plus by chipping the metallic coating? What are the consequences of running the machine with compromised shield/paint stuff? Has anyon…

The install of phpBB we're using here is completely stock, aside from some tweaks to the templates. We're using reCAPTCHA on the registration page (which is an option as of 3.0.6, …

Thank you!

Slapping and spanking never helped me much with the BabyPB, what I always did when I had intermittent stiction problems with one of them was to set it up on a hard surface, (back l…
