Thats cool, I probably used over 100 electrolytic caps myself so far this year.

Keep up the great work to you, trag! Without you, I would not have performed such a beautiful SMD cap-replacement as shown here.

I might be able to provide a donor Wallstreet, if you're interested. I'm not sure what I have on hand, but I have more than one in various states of nonfunctionality and it would b…

Gott im Himmel! It's not worth real money, is it? And mine looks almost new. Click to expand... That seller's pricing policy has attracted comment before. In the new-look comm…

Well I got it to boot once... ...I had a Sonnet Crescendo G3 in there that seemed to be one cause of the problem. I also had to switch between the 2 SCSI connectors on the Logic B…

That's a shame - was the plastic around the hinge damaged too? Hopefully you can find a donor WSII/PDQ and transplant a new hinge on. Must have been a hefty fall - these machines…

Wallstreets have a bad hinge design, many died years ago from broken hinges that took out the video cable, and many these days have atleast one bad hinge that keeps the display fro…

Since you have had and eventually will have it open again, could you please add some observations here?viewtopic.php?f=21&t=11280 Click to expand... Sure! When I have it …

The II and IIfx do need a working battery. In these old machines, the battery actually closes a relay in the power supply to turn 'em on. A Kensington or other fan will do a lot t…

That Sawtooth is a good solid box. Most of them can be OC'd to 550MHz or more, and with a fast G4 upgrade and a video card upgrade, will do 720p HD video. Check to see which versio…

Does it work with standard HFS or do I need a dedicated "Plus" scsi drive formatted differently? Click to expand... Depends on the drive and the utility that was used to format…

using some of the lower System versions (say, System 3, with which it shipped, I gather) with an external scsi hard drive? Does it work with standard HFS Click to expand... Sin…

Great news! I'll be getting a set for my Classic II at some stage too. I haven't opened it yet to see what the inside story looks like.

I was going to mention the Plus's lack of internal termination, but LCGuy beat me to it. Try to use a short SCSI cable to the first external device and made sure that the device n…

If you're going to use the hard drive with the Plus exclusively, you're best to format it with an interleave of 3:1, which you can do in Hard Disk Toolkit, or I'd imagine most 3rd …

The donor has found the keyboard, which I can collect tomorrow. There is ein Gott im Himmel, evidently.

hard drive: free, 256mb of memory: free, receiving a free computer for setting up a computer for some one: priceless

Sometimes keyboards just do that. I had a Dell keyboard a few years back, and the b, n, m, comma and space bar all went out at the same time. The day that happened (prior to the cr…

The very first time I took apart an iBook (also to replace the hard drive) and put it back together, I put one of the long hex screws in the middle, instead of the short one. Cl…

I got it put back together. Only 3 extra screws. That's pretty good for me. :I :I :I :I :I :I :I :I Click to expand... Well done! I had 4 left over after replacing the…

I know, I know, I'm going to hell. But it works. It's also non-permanent, if I have to go in later and fix it for real.
