My 2400c had something similar with its backlight after I restored it. I assume that it had not run for several years before I did the surgery needed.   I found that regular use s…

I guess I'll just tell them it's defective (for my purposes) Click to expand... I thought the term was "fit for purpose", if you explicitly said you were going to use it with a…

Sometime recently 68kMLA passed 1,000 registered members. We are also close to 10,000 threads according to phpBB. We already passed the 10,000 thread according to database ID.

I tried this monitor on my MDD 1.25 GHz for Tiger and the best resolution available was 1024x768! This monitor is going back to the store. I guess I'll just tell them it's defecti…

I have posted my lasted blog on my xanga site (where I have posted my entries in the past...) http://doctorclu.xanga.com/ Or http://www.xanga.com/doctorclu should also work. …

Somehow I'm pretty sure I managed to score a working LC575 motherboard with an ethernet card onboard, and it is supposed to arrive in the mail later this week! It has been a dream …

if you have a plastic coat hanger you can clip a piece off of it, cut it down to size, melt the end abit and let it cool while pressing on the screw head basically making a custom…
