Even if the motherboard is busted in the XPS there is still really nice components inside. I'm surprised the owner didn't salvage the really nice parts on the inside.

Just FYI my ram was swapped with new chips and no change. If you have video artifacts with the error code another chip may be at fault. I have yet to figure it out. Now that I a…

@bibilit , you know where to find these kind of recycle haul here in france Click to expand... Not really, from time to time car boot sales or flea markets have been good to me (…

IT needs a re-ram. i offer this service... its a big nasty job.    i did 2 over the weekend.

RAM failure, location F-11. Or a trap error depending on the site one reads I guess... lol Are you trying to boot from a floppy? You dont say you do.

hello. today i got a 128k logic board. but it came with sad mac code "04006c". when i turn it on i heard bong and that code came up. i had serched the code through internet "goo…

Nice haul! You could try and save that MacBook Pro with a reflow, probably (and since it's already damaged, it won't hurt anyway).

PB 1400c use Sharp LQ1142 11.3" screen. You can find some alone on the bay, but not cheap. Don't know in what other machine it's been used...

Crazy how people throw thing… an iPad . @bibilit , you know where to find these kind of recycle haul here in france ? My main source for stuff is Bay or le bon coin...

Not possible sorry - the connectors, timings, etc are all different across most LCDs.  Do you have a part no for the LCD, it might glean more info if it was also used say in a Tosh…

That's an awesome haul in one swoop, I found a Dell XPS 720 a few years ago too, with a faulty motherboard - apparently a very common fault.  Standard ATX though so would make a fa…

A SCSI Zip can be an alternative to floppy discs.

Nice haul, congrats. Almost never get so much  at once. Yes people toss a lot of fine equipment. I get the same kind of Wii for my kid for 3 euros in working condition and a nice…

If you need a set of 6.0.8 disks made I can help, send me a pm

if you can clean up the metal then solder will stick... so you can take some flux and some wick,  and with your iron,  rub what ever surfaces that are eaten up,  and maybe those su…

w/e - where am i going to find a better most likely irreparable practice board for pad repair... seriously though I tried a lot of stuff... is there any tip you can think of of how…

Incredible haul!  The XPS appears nice - I haven't seen older Macs (like the LC) show up on a doorstep (outside of eBay or here) in some time, here in downstate IL.

i wouldn't say its anything about skill level with this board... i would just say that working on it might not be healthy for one's sanity... that board is F'ed up man.

Charge light doesn't seem to work but it does seem to be charging.

Fairly sure the pad repair is beyond my skill level.  Tried a bit tonight.  I'll have to clean it before/if I try again.

I live near a e-recycle drop off. The stuff I find there is unbelievable, I often wonder why would people toss this stuff. Never a retro Mac though. Lots of iPods old iPhones po…

you know this was perfectly good stuff, seems one would rather sell some of this stuff then toss it

Maybe There is a way for adapting an easier to find part, since this laptop is hard to find parts. Anyone have tried?

Probably unlikely... anyone have a 3400c logic board out that they'd be willing to take a picture of?  Specifically the underside right below the power adapter port and next to the…

Nice haul, that's a lot of stuff. It's a shame someone tossed that iPad, I'd like to get a first gen some time.
