The more I look at it, it seems like it is drawing every other row on the screen. Would a VSYNC issue cause this?

TLDR: Analog board adjustment has been made to no avail, compressed picture persists across multiple known good analog boards that show full picture with other logic boards. Confirming problem is on the logic board). I recently picked up an SE/30 for a steal but it had a Simasimac screen with...

^^^ This is the solution! ^^^ Ah, that is the trick! I had no idea you couldn't just "copy" (which I believe in LOS is actually a move) an app off the floppy. So you are correct, the proper way to install an app from a floppy disk (real or emulated) is to select the application, press...

Interesting. I only have the floppy emu plugged into the Lisa at the moment. When I use their 3.1 disks it doesn't prompt me for the app disks. Any idea which LOS3.1 disks you used with that process? I was able to get LisaWrite to "install" but copying the app and stationary from the 2...

Anyone have any tips on how to get a complete install, with applications, on my internal hard drive? I was able to finally get my keyboard fully working, and would not like to get a good setup of LOS 3.1 and MacWorks XL on it with a variety of apps. Thanks! BTW, this is the error I receive...

Be very careful with this technique. Certainly don't allow direct sunlight to hit it or you will likely get marbling. I build a UV light box from a plastic bin lined with UV LED light strips and I do it overnight. I typically leave it in for 10-14 hours. I'm not sure if the heat or the...

Mine is still working great. I’m guessing years of people pushing their disc in a bit too hard slowly pushes it down on the spindle.

Trying to load up my Lisa with some software now that I have a working display, one working memory board, a Cameo/Aphid HD emulator, and a FloppyEmu. I created a blank image in Cameo/Aphid Selector, installed LOS 3 from floppy images on the FloppyEmu. I can boot from it and the image, and load...

Yeah, I was thinking a couple of bent contacts for positive and negative, like the battery compartment in the Portable. Then a momentary switch in the base that the weight of the battery will hold down. With a slight chamfer to the lip to guide it into the contacts (fortunately the contacts...

So, it looks like the LiFePO4 battery does have a slightly higher voltage when charged (6.57 vs 6.38). I would have thought the higher voltage would simply have made it think the battery was fully charged. I'll see how things go after the hybrid board is swapped out. Any tips for removing...

Yeah, let's see if those work and if you're willing to snip off a bit and print som feet, I'll split the cost of the silicon tubing and pay for shipping. I'm not in a huge rush as I will probably be keeping the Portable opened up for a while doing the power port repairs, recap of the backlight...

Yeah it looks like the rod is 1mm and the outer diameter is supposed to be 4mm (mine is all over the place). As long as it is grippy enough to grab the track ball, that might be a good solution. And much easier to get a perfectly round outer diameter. Mine left/right one is slightly lumpy and...

I might take you up on that. I have not had any success with printing TPU on my 3d printer. It worked well for the battery enclosure, but I would love to get some replacement feet, and rollers for the trackball if you are able to reproduce them. Let me know how it turns out and I can pay you...

I did think about that Hybrid module when it complained about the battery level. But when the lead acid battery didn't, I wondered if it was something with the LiFePO battery. I may try to replace the hybrid module, then. Thanks!

I received the components from @Androda yesterday, as well as my Mac Portable battery adapter PCBs and spent some time last nights getting my Portable back together. Installed the new flex cable, added the BlueSCSI adapter and fresh Portable SCSI cable, and reattached the display. My first...

I didn't realize the 1.2 board could function as a pure battery without the caps and IC installed. I was simply trying to have some options in case I was concerned the super capacitors were not compatible with a M5120 with the backlight upgrade. Good to know that I can simply use the v1.2...

I actually figured I should know how to order PCBs from gerber files, so I ordered 10 of each the 1.1 and 1.2 versions of the PCB. I also kind of want to try the supercap version with no battery. I started printing some cases for when they come in. If you want one of my spares, let me know...

I've got a M5120 with the backlight upgrade. I have a 6v battery I've been using (waiting on a reproduction flex cable and BlueSCSI adapter (the machine's cables were cut). I'd love to have the ability to test this. I've not printed my own circuit boards before. Is it feasible for me to...

While I wait for the remainder of the parts to arrive, anyone happen to have a drive case cover? It's the piece that covers the hard drive and floppy drive on the right side of the machine. Mine was missing and I'd love to have this be a complete machine when (if? no definitely when) I get this...

I've got one on order as well. Along with a new hybrid card, LCD cable, and BlueSCSI adapter kit. Very excited to get my Portable working!
