wow, thank you. you sure beat me at finding nice ebay auctions. ) sadly, most of them only ship to the us, but i'll arrange something. i'll go along with your suggestion, too…

Why go with 4.0uF when you can get the exact 3.9uF value you need easily from Digikey for only $3 plus shipping? This is mentioned on my analog board parts list spreadsheet here: …

Seems to be the RAM but, … It´s becoming more interresting every day As soon as I remive one 512 MB RAM, tha machine works perfectly. If I add the 2nd 512 the computer again go…

You might be able to fix it, sounds like you blew up something on the data side of the ADB. I think if there was fusing it would only be for the power side but I don't have the sch…

but if bad caps are the culprit, I'd hate to accuse them of something that's not their fault. Click to expand... Click to expand... Uhm, Caps don't have feelings. :lol:

now my ADB ports don't seem to work at all, except for the power button on the keyboard. The Mac boots normally, but the keyboard and mouse aren't responsive. They both work fine w…

If there was a rotten cap in the mix it could have just drawn enough extra current to push it over from rotten to dead Click to expand... That's kind of what I was worried abou…

All the power button does is shorts two connectors. I doubt they make ps2-adb connectors,so you probly killed the mobo...

You sure that was an ADB-PS/2 adapter?

Hey all. I have a IIcx that's been working fine up until last night, when I tried to install an ADB-PS2 adapter to use with a Logitech mouse. The adapter didn't seem to work, and w…

RAM can go flaky suddenly, though it's rare. Best memory test seems to be one called rember. You should also check the battery voltage, since if it's low that can lead to all sorts…

Sounds like a problem with the mouse. You should return it or see if any other bluetooth device pairs with the iBook.

mouse update: i found out something strange.....if you hold down the mouse button while its off and the light turns on then you open the cover then the connection comes back!!! bu…

Would using just the wax in a tealight candle work? When they are almost burnt all the way down, all the remaining wax liquefies. Or would that not be hot enough?
