No I didn't take it out as I don't have anything to swap. I cleaned a battery leaking PB 5300 logic board some weeks ago - which is working now, but I can't see anything wrong wit…

Wait.  The 3400c display does not work with the Kanga?  I thought that it did.  If it doesn't then there are some more basic problems.  I assume you have taken the logic board out …

Yes I have absolutely everything to test.  I‘m a Mac user since 1992 and didn't give away anything. And yes, I have all service sources for all Macs, but the Kanga / 3400 servic…

Nor worries on the English. * If you're going to leave the replacement screen in whatever - it's just useful for debugging to see some screen.  VGA out? * (Ok on fan; I didn't th…

Interesting.  Random thought.  I think with the second problem I know what you mean - sometimes my broken board (when it worked) would boot to gray screen and sometimes to HD (past…

I don' t think ADB is completely broken on these. The first one , non-corroded nice looking, was from a 3400c with a broken screen that i managed to boot with another screen before…

Galgot - thank you very much!  I have to start working on my /200 board again; getting the solder off has proven pretty challenging.  I'm assuming none of those boards specifically…

Nice but noisy.

Booting on a Mac takes time. I noticed that on my systems with a SSD, that there is a 20 second or so pause between the "Welcome to Mac" sign and the first extension loading. And s…

Nice!

Ok. A nice video to end this topic! I have build in the widget drive. It still gets its power form an external PSU. A plain normai cheap power unit from an old computer. I ripped o…

Yes I did it: I swapped the PMU board, but that didn't help. Wasted money! I tested with a known good PowerBook harddisk with system (and a CF-IDE adapter afterwards), disc…

Hi, I got the Kanga as non working: black screen, no start chime, but HD spinning a while (using known good power adapter). And: when I put in a PC formated empty disk, it's ejec…

MikeatOSX, what is the problem with  your Kanga?

Back again everyone, I received the new chip today and soldered it. Then I checked all the connections again just to be sure. First try using the new HDD I bought, it did the exa…

Define defective

I'm waiting for the next sequel. I have a defective Kanga.

Really not much of a challenge.  I did just this (involuntarily) last month, and it really wasn't too painful.  My Retina MacBook died (the backlight would come on, the fans would …

Good luck with that. Make sure you get the same board. Buy a frame and put the old board on it and hang it up as art when you replace the board. Title it "My First IIgs."

Ok, swapped the ROM and it's the same. So the Mega II is the problem. Time to find another board. Thanks everyone for your help! Pitou!
