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.

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…

...AND I spoke too soon. I went to open up a help menu to reconfigure my Favorite keys and I'm getting bomb errors.. AGAIN. After initializing the disk and doing a clean installati…

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!

OIC. Then you can just pick the hosts out of the list and whitelist? That actually sounds more manageable. If that's what you mean, I like that idea even better. FTR, NoScript is …

I'll most likely do that as soon as I get brave enough to take the bad boy apart 8-o If the slap trick doesn't work, something else may have to be a donor xx(

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: { …

All taken care of

I wish you good luck with recovering the PB100. The only one I have owned had the lit up but blank screen issue. Eventually i gave it away and if I was smart I would have kept th…

I was going to ask if that coating was common to all the machines; I have memories of opening a 512k with my dad and seeing a more plastic-like interior. Ah, I didn't realize …

Here is the damage. The last two photos are a 'before' (flat) and an 'after' (on the drainboard) of the bezel. I did remove the Apple badge; it was fun to learn it's just a metal s…

Here is the damage. Click to expand... While there is no way to undo the damage, I am sorry to say, you would be doing others a service by posting this story and links to your …

I have been tempted many times to get and try out the following product, but I have no clue how it compares to the original http://www.allbatterysalesandservice.com/browse.cfm/4,4…

Thanks, JDW. I think a combination of the gel method mixed with some more patience & planning would have done the trick. Here is the damage. The last two photos are a 'be…

I had a fear of that happening myself; namely, that the metallic spray inside the case might be adversely affected by the H202 during deyellowing. But in my case, the reason I ult…

Alright, I am tired of messing around with it today... I have three sticks of compatible RAM, which at various times have run in this box. None of them work. One of them allows it…
