Bravo - thanks!

How can we make our order so as to get the $7 shipping vs the $23 shipping? I didn't see a way to do that in the cart. I'd actually like to buy two kits.

This is just my opinion, but I think you can be OK if you are missing just one. I'd do it if it were one of my drives :)

Is the 128GB limit for all partitions, or just the boot partition? I thought it was just the boot partition, but I'm prepared to be wrong :)

Thanks @Kai Robinson! I knew I had seen the image, but apparently didn't save a copy.

@MacEffects - do you have the images that Johan Grip was able to pull from the BBU I sent in?

I saw that original statue of Hermes and Dionysus in Olympia, Greece a long time ago! :)

With more examination, it seems that when the power is plugged in - or there's charge in the battery - the CPU heats up enough to start the fan, even though the machine is otherwise dead. I will probably pull the logic board to see if I can find any obvious failed components, etc.

I've got a couple/three Macbook Pros and Macbook Airs from a local charter school that "don't work", and I offered to give it a shot to see if I can repair. The common symptom is that none of them will show any signs of powering up, even after SMC reset, disconnecting/reconnecting the battery...

It was great to meet you and help you grab the project machines - and I hope that extra RAM comes in useful :)

Welcome! Don't have any of those fun Tektronix vector terminals hanging around, do you? :)

We went through the first batch of SE machines today. Four went into the retail store at $75 each. None are perfect; all boot, but either had no SCSI drive to begin with, or the failed one was romoved, maybe the floppies need clean/lube. Nothing too serious. There were also a couple of battery...

It will be a bit before these are triaged and ready for sale. I'll try and update here, or they may also show up on the FGTC online store. You can find that at Freegeektwincities.org.

Oh - he knows!

A gentleman asked if we wanted some old Macs. Here's what showed up (along with some Commodore breadboxes).

Thanks everyone for the Ko-Fi donations that have been coming in! Just with what's come in the last couple of days, we've already covered license renewals for our forum software and more! There have also been updates to the initial "Operational Cost Overview" thread posting if you want to see...

Welcome! This is very cool. I'd be down for a kit when they become available again. Like @eric I have an HD20 that I'm sure has a limited half-life, so I'll be watching for the "Mega" as well.

Woot! :)

The answer in this particular case was Xylene! IF the parts fit together tightly, just hold them together and use a fine modelers brush to let capillary action draw the adhesive into the crack. Sets within a minute, and basically as strong as the unbroken plastic within 20 minutes or so...
