Hey, that's great. Love to see these still working. Is the screen ok and all?

I'm assuming and hoping this is not a repack sealed box... First does your cable have two ends on it? One with a little joystick icon, and one with a floppy disk? If you have th…

Well I braved the tube today and got it straight. It's not 100% but it's better than it was. One question though, how much of a black bar should there be around the picture? I k…

I'd imagine very very old LCDs couldn't be any harder. Click to expand... It is stupidly easy in the displays in the 1xx series.Like, mars478 could do it.. though he might brea…

I have a PowerBook 1400cs and a Powerbook G3 Lombard, but I bought it from a site with the same idea as eBay, so I don't know if it is intended to be brighter.

With enough patience, precision, and critical thinking, you can replace the lamp(s) in most LCDs. I have replaced lamps in two PowerBook G3 Pismo screens. One was dim, the other …

Well I tried this on my old VERY dead Mac SE last night. Obviously I couldn't power it up to see my handy work, but I was able to get a feel for how the yoke moves and how hard I …

Doesn't a tilde work? ~ (shift-backquote)

Here's some syncing info on the IIci/IIsi: http://www.applefritter.com/node/6301 Some people say it's sync on green, then another guy disagrees, etc. So it could be an interesti…

Beware that some (many?) LCD monitors won't like the 67hz sync-on-green signal that comes out of a IIci. Click to expand... If you find a Mac to VGA adapter with DIP switches, …

Do you know of any specific models that are 1280 x 960? Click to expand... Some 1280x1024 monitors (the standard pixel density for non-widescreen 17" monitors) will scale 640x4…

Thanks for the tip it sounds like a good idea but I can't find one of these items. Everything out there seems to be 1280x1024 native resolution. Do you know of any specific model…

Actually, the yoke carries very dangerous voltages (and currents). Specifically, the horizontal deflection winding is the one that can give you a serious bite. I treat the yoke wit…

Solution to my focus problem: Thanks to all for input. Here's solution told me by my tech.: The adjustment he was referring to is the cutoff. I have already done that - turned t…

Then use the bullet. Option+8. Moving other things up leaves the others further down so it's not completely irrelevant information.

ah, guys, are you sure you are directing me in the right direction ? When i got on this elevator i wanted to go down.

Oh, okay. What I meant by "touching" was what to hold while rotating the yoke. Because he was asking what was "safe" to handle. If this is not the best thing to do. Thanks for warn…

BTW, the yoke doesn't carry high voltage, so it's safe to touch the coils if you have to to break it loose. Or since you know you're going to rotate it anyway, loosen the clamp and…

The parts you want to touch are marked in red, they are white and made of plastic. Click to expand... No, no, no. Those are the very last things to play with. What Scott, I an…

(Edited for being a bad idea. ) Just follow Scott Baret's guide and you should be fine. (His steps describe exactly what I did. 8-o )

I use option-8, the "bullet" and it works great for what you're doing. Has anybody got the ASCII special character sort list handy to post? :?: Click to expand... Option + 8 …

If you'd consider getting a newer LCD and using a Mac -> VGA adapter, a display with 1280x960 native resolution will produce a superb, unbelievably sharp image when set to 6…

The basic rule for working on hot electronics is keep one hand "in your pocket", meaning don't have both hands touching the machine. That way if you touch high voltage, you may get…

The manual says to twist the plastic ring, and not to grab the copper wires. Is this correct? Click to expand... What do you suppose usually flows through copper wiring?
