Well, full USB ports means I can add Bluetooth rather easily if need be. Let me know how it goes with those. Can I have some close-ups of the tablets, if it's not too inconvenien…

Haven't looked at every model yet. Mostly it's HP Pavilion, Dell Latitude, Toshiba Satellite stuff. Core 2, Pentium Dual Cores, one i3, and maybe some other stuff. Let me know what…

Nice haul! If you decide to sell any of it (I suspect you'd need to to get yopur space back!), I'd be interested in one of those tablets if they run at least Android 2.1 and have …

Pretty good haul. I say it's a haul because I had to haul all this around while I went to more sales! Many people just don't put out computers until you ask. Ask and you come back …

CHeers mate that looks to be worth it's weight in gold. I might look at pulling the A-board out when I have time and give it some hot air to see if it makes a difference.

If tapping helps/hurts, it's a sure sign that some solder needs to be re-flowed... Here's something I've been working on: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_Xp3uN-BcxsRThRU1NOQ1RX…

Well, as of late I have noticed my SE Superdrive has developed a bit of a jittery display most noticable when it first powers on, and some ever so slight dimensional changes with c…

I'm not sure if the space between the two nubs needs to be clear... so a full axle might not work.  a nice tight-fitting bit of metal (perhaps as simple as a bit of clothes hanger …

Could do a rod, or drill out the one side and glue a rod into it.

The different angles of door is something I have not been thinking about much. Your argument makes lot of senses... But how do you suggest I proceed to repair that little pin that…

meall said: I have an external III floppy that I could "destroy" to repair the main unit, but I'm looking at a better/cleaner solution. Click to expand... You'll need to …

I'm glad you sorted that out. I hope now things will be easy for you when you replace the floppy drive. You should be able to replace the drive guts with another working one like a…

I have an Apple III I bought many years ago from a member of this forum. Can't remember who, sadly! I have not started it in years, but I know it needs some care. The first thing …

I love my two NuPower batteries - they are both getting weaker, alas. I keep babying them along.

I assumed it was a power management issue as it won't charge batteries anymore (hasn't for years) but that could of course just be dead batteries! (One of them was a new NuPower Ma…

I would guess it was a power management issue with the software.  Like shutdown every 15 minutes.  It only asked you because you were using it.

Yes , strange. Maybe a virus, there was some : http://lowendmac.com/2015/classic-mac-os-viruses/ Can get them with old downloaded games sometimes. Install Desinfectant.  Happy t…

I booted from a 9.1 CD and it wasn't doing it, so I did a fresh install... and it's ok now. Genuinely confused as to what caused it (~15 years playing with Macs and I've never see…

Have you tried booting from a system cd , see if it does the same ?

I know this isn't a mechanical problem, as I've gone so far as to unplug the power button to see what I can do here. I know the power button works, because it can boot the thing f…

(Elfen you were right, the floppy that I normally put disk tools on had died.  The SCSI CD drive will no longer boot either the c or cs, but I think it may be a termination issue. …

Ok so the 5300c's bus is fine; this is at least partly a drive issue.  The drive in question, with a jumper, spins but isn't recognized.  Without a jumper it spins and shuts down i…

I was going to say, Elfen, if you can clue me in to any factors you think might affect the cards, I can test them systematically and make like a grid along with a correlation of th…

The adapters giving problems are all directly PCMCIA/Cardbus to SD.  I successfully set up my 16gb card - the one that had the weird OS 8.5 Disk Tools System Folder on it - with th…
