Need some manual repair help — #3
There's a product called Chip Quik which is supposed to make this type of work easier. You paint it onto the joints you want to desolder and it lowers the melting point of the sol…

PowerBook 150!!! — #6
Nice score!
The PB150's are cool machines. I hope your 4GB drive will work for you.
PowerBook 150!!! — #5
Good to hear that its got a RAM upgrade - the main thing like I said, is that it has the right angle adaptor, which allows you to use Duo RAM. That 4GB hard drive *should* work - I…
PowerBook 150!!! — #4
It's got 8MB RAM but the hard drive, which is a 250MB, has problems. It will "freeze up" when in use (I've tried twice to install 7.6 on it--yes, I finally have a use for the 7.6 C…
PowerBook 150!!! — #3
Not bad. I hope for your sake the RAM has been upgraded - even though they use Duo RAM (which if you can find a Duo, is easy enough to find), they require a special right angle …

I picked up a PowerBook 150 in excellent condition for $10. It works perfectly and seems to even have a working battery. The drive is empty but I'll be booting it up later tonight …

Well, I finally got that new display cable today. So I got right to it, I took apart my laptop and tried to fix it.
Pics of repair.
Sadly. It turns out to be the controller bo…
Need some manual repair help — #2
what have you attempted, thing with most commercial soldering jobs is that it is soldered on both sides of the board, as the holes are lined with copper or tin and it is risky biz …

I have been wanting to modify an Asante SE/30 ethernet adapter card to remove the stock pass-through connector and replace it with a right-angled connector. My attempts so far hav…
Plus Analog Board C1: Will 4 uF work? — #13
Digikey's 3.9uF cap worked great. Last time C1 blew, I just swapped analog boards. This time I repaired the original analog board by replacing C1 with the Digikey cap, swapped th…

Color Classic Screen Color Issue — #4
It does sound like a dried out solder joint, somewhere in the red line. If it was a dying gun I wouldn't expect it to be intermittent at first.

Color Classic Screen Color Issue — #3
Had a similar issue - fixed by resoldering the cables going to the analogue board to the PCB plugged into the back of the tube.

Color Classic Screen Color Issue — #2
The screen of my Color Classic would intermittently go off color - as in the red would become greenish and so on. It was intermittent a few weeks ago, now it seems to be off color…
Plus Analog Board C1: Will 4 uF work? — #12
I just want to point out in answer to the question in my original post, one should not attempt to use a normal 4uF electrolytic (polarized) cap in place of C1. C1 is a bipolar cap…
Plus Analog Board C1: Will 4 uF work? — #11
Replacing C1 fixes one of the major problems with the earliest analog boards, but replacing only that cap won't solve other problems created by other caps that are either weak or d…

Plus Analog Board C1: Will 4 uF work? — #9
If I were set in changing C1 and only C1, it would not matter to me if the price was even $6 total, if that including shipping to me in Japan.
Perhaps it would be more desirab…
Plus Analog Board C1: Will 4 uF work? — #8
I'm not worried about getting a discount on a $3 part. Mine arrived yesterday, I hope to find some time to do the repair and test the board some time this week. I bought a couple…

Sell the extras (for a reasonable price, of course), and you will make back your shipping and could be a benefit some users here (some of whom live outside the United States). But…
