Problem solved. I can detect the card again!

Yeah let me know if you have newer firmware to try, once I get the USB hacked into place, i will have the machine sitting right here for testing stuff. The problem with the USB that I can see, its in a bad spot on the card. there is a hole punched into the chassis right where the USB connector...

Time to make a rig from hell, its the only thing I have handy:

Crashes with Address Error. This time around the sound was garbly instead of clean just before the address error (The Radius card does the same garbly sound but no errors). I wont be able to do any more firmware updates/testing until I can figure out this USB situation. Edit: After a crash...

Yeah i just knocked myself out of the running on ever updating this card again. the USB jack just broke off. Gonna have to look at the schematic and rig up some other jack on here, epoxy or whatnot.

I think its a bad connection on the USB port of the accelerator, I have to bend the cable up quite a bit and itll detect. Edit: I got it flashed, but the connector is broken loose on the WarpSE, I can wiggle it and see the pins moving up and down. I need to figure that out, and that was the...

Damn, the USB device isnt being seen by the system at all to even install a driver. Somethings up with that. I only have one micro USB cable, it may be a charge-only cable. MicroUSB isnt something i keep around, i have a ton of miniUSB cables, and a few USB-C cables but coming up short on Micro.

It must need a driver... I need to figure out what driver.

I will have a video out tomorrow on my channel, within that video demonstrates the fault, the video would better explain whats going on than I can in text. To make a better video, i decided to test the WarpSE against the Radius Accelerator 16 and the WarpSE actually stands right up to it, and...

Too many questions bombed at me at one time so my brain.exe process died. Sorry... What I can say though is, I only tested the sound control panel as I have no other software handy to test (Im not a gamer so i dont have anything like that handy). I have a MOD player somewhere but i think that...

I did a quick betatest and benchmarks on my SE. My results are impressive so far, with a few caveats: As far as raw computing power/benchmarks, its impressive. Speedometer shows results that even beat out the 68020 Radius 16 that I have. (Except the floating point but thats expected)...

That looks like noise getting into the vertical deflection circuitry. The original IC failed for a reason, and I think you are witnessing why it failed. The problem is going to be how to figure out the actual cause. Perhaps, you could use an oscilloscope to probe the vertical drive signal into...

What would be awesome is if this worked like with some sort of IP KVM (which i think is also based on the raspberry pi) so i could just connect into a Macintosh from a modern machine (Such as my main machine into a bridge machine) Looking at the PiKVM project: https://github.com/pikvm/pikvm...

This is probably applicable to all the other Powerbook 1XX machines as well as there are little variances between them. I took a gander at the 145 schematics and the 180c is basically the same in this department. The key here is to attach a shottky barrier diode much in the same way you do on...

Of course i had to be the lucky one! On the 540c, i dont know yet. it could even be the rear polarizer film, its not the front. I just cast it aside to figure it out another day.

I have a 540c which has a weird halo in my junk horde as well, I never took it apart to figure out why that was yet or tinkered with it.

But it centers around Hoisden. That's the common denominator here. What can be different between them and every other LCD manufacturer? Thats whats going through my mind at the moment. Theres a lot of process variations, sure. but idk what to think anymore besides that.

Yeeaahhhh thats what i suspected. Its looking more and more like a defective chemical mixture.

Did Hosiden make that one as well?

Yeah the yellowing is normal as the UV and heat from the CCFL affect the diffuser light spreader thing. A lot of my laptops are like that now.
