A dodgy Kaliedoscope theme also helps.

Naw, no hating here. It's just my personal fetish. If you can design hinges with less fail in them, by all means go ahead :beige:

Don't forget to load as many third party Control Panels and Extensions as you can find. Truly, the more you have, the more stable it will be.

Guaranteed to disable alien motherships or your money back!

As for the LC575's sound specs, it supports 8 bit stereo sound out, and 8 bit mono sound in, both at 22 kHz from memory.. And yes, the sound output port on the back IS stereo. C…

Theoretically it should...a couple of members on here have had success using 64MB and 128MB SIMMs in their machines. I haven't dealt with any SIMMs over 32MB myself. As for the st…

So would the 575 board take any 72pin SIMM cards up to 128mb? I see many different manufacturers on eBay for 72pin. Two weird things are happening with the new board: 1) Startup …

Paid $25 for a Mac plus today complete with external hard drive, mouse, and original manual (with filled out but never sent in Apple registration card!). Slightly yellowed and kind…

I'd love the mini-CD drive as well. I have quite a few mini-CDs; and I'd happily burn some of my software to one (mini-CD-Rs are easy to find,) to install on there.

Ive re-celled quite a few batteries in my time, but when it comes to laptop batteries id just rather get a gneric brand replacement or at least see how much a place like batteries …

What an awesome find. :O Its a shame though that it doesn't have the mini-CD drive that the one in the movie did, as useless as it would be it'd still be neat.

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…

Lots of pictures here. Oh, and it loads "C:\Sys\MacsBug" at startup! :lol:

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 new posts search works fine. Thanks MacJunky and Wacky Macs!

Another forum I go on (MacTalk) has a live posts spy...I never use it. I think it would only really be of any use for really big forums.

I have a ton of iBook Parts. Good Conquest! I assume its the 500MHZ Version.

Thank you for the photo. There are a number of differences between the older and newer boards, so one need not be worried about the green wire soldered to the Xtal. Such wires ju…

Get an old toothbrush and some soap and see if they scrub off.

Posted an Ad wanting cheap mac laptops and someone offered me a iBook G3 500 with 'some' damage. Well the screen is scratched (not cracked but scratched), the keyboard has duct ta…

I dark green on the pins of a few chips behind the serial ports, as well as blue/green on the chip directly next to the internal floppy port. Actually, I just looked at it, many ra…

The only dead motherboard I cannot revive (so far) by replacing capacitors is one from an 840av that has some gook under important chips. I can't tell from your picture how much co…

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…

Not that big, TBH. The software took up most of the space.

Well, after a through cleaning/drying to see if I can get it to boot temporarily it still does the same. I'm thinking even if I replace the capacitors that it will still be dead be…
