Thanks for the advice. What's the best way to get the analog board out without killing myself?

A solder sucker/desoldering braid isn't really necessary. A bit of solder wick placed over the solder and then heated up does the same thing - and for a lot less money.

Get the smallest soldering iron you can. Put a dab of new solder to get a nice shiny look on the solder. Just DON'T DO WHAT I DID. Make sure you have a desoldering tool, in case yo…

If you've never done any soldering before, I suggest you practice on an old junk board before taking to your Mac Plus board. It's very easy to apply too much heat for too long and…

to do it right you should remove and re apply fresh solder (and flux) if you just reflow you are adding alot of old oxidization and contamination to the joint, and it probably wil…

This thread deserves more photos... My "Redneck Repair" to the hard disk. Simple enough, when there's nothing to secure the drive in... improvise! In the great war that us 68k Mac…

Okay, I've read the famous PDF about classic mac procedures, and I'm pretty sure I need to fix the solder connections on the J1 connector. I'm a little unclear on exactly what to d…

Wow Great conquest! I love the Screen bezels on the 128/512k/plus. It looks like a tuxedo for some reason to me

Macintosh SE is together and running System 7.1, although i'd like to get System 6 running on there eventually. Macintosh 512k unfortunately now doesn't want to start at all. This…

next time that happens , run your finger along the top case of the TiBook. I have one that spazzes out every so often, and then with one finger running down the back of it, it'll s…

From memory the 750/750AV fixed a lot of the problems with the 1710/1710AV, and had an updated CRT with a slightly better dot pitch.

With all the issues they had, even back when they were new, I'd imagine that a working 1710 series display would be rather hard to find nowadays. Click to expand... It appears …

The 7200's were never popular and if I remember correctly(which could be wrong) they had some serious QC issues and bugs in the design. You are a brave man for trying to upgrade a …

Progress is that..... a cd did become mounted on the desktop... at least, ones that boot automatically seem to mount, and after installing Toast I got one of my own burned cd's to …

That model can display to a VGA monitor, with a DVI-to-VGA adapter (which was included originally; but if you got yours used, it's understandable if you didn't get it; and if you g…

Sure thing. I guess I'll just run it with power... Ok and also, The floppy drive makes discs spring back out. They bounce out like if they were spring loaded. Any ideas? Oh and I…

Whatever you do, do NOT put cells from ANY iBook battery into the PowerBook 150 battery. An iBook battery, like just about all laptop batteries made in the last 10 years, uses Lith…

The funky ghosting and fadedness point to hardware, not software. If you plug it in to an external monitor, does it work? Click to expand... I haven't a clue. I don't have an e…

The sonnet was the root of all the issues. I need a L2 Cache DIMMM then to make this mac usable.

Cool, Pics will be up later today? Anyone know how to Re-Cell a battery? I have a few old iBook ice Batteries that I can kill.

I reinstalled the driver for ATi, it takes Mac OS a decade to boot, and finder hangs. Its on a 400mhz G3, it should be fast! The sonnet accelerator is one of the worst boards I ha…
