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!

Got the microUSB extension today. 3d printed a bracket for it. Not I just need the Cameo/aphid to plug into it inside the Lisa!

So, I have a flex cable replacement ordered from @Androda (along with a replacement hybrid board, RAM upgrade, and BlueSCSI adapter and cable). The should address the cut cables. I did a recap, and found some broken traces thanks to @Androda's fantastic guid on checking resistances around the...

Ah, I thought you were referring to your M5126 Flex cables. Didn't realize you had done one for the upgrade! That is so awesome!

Good points. I may look to add an X/ProFile to my arsenal later. For the port compatibility, I was originally going to mount it externally, but I do want to be able to run LOS, so I'm going to try to find a good internal solution. For the power, I think I was going to get one of these...

It has been fun to play around with. Unfortunately, the Widget drive seems to be refusing to work now (I knew I was on borrowed time). I've ordered a Cameo/Aphid parallel port HD emulator from http://www.arcanebyte.com/harddrive-product/ to try to get a more stable hard drive situation. I was...

Yes. Let me know when they're available. I think I'd do the service where you transfer the ends. However, it looks like my end is different than the one you produced, is it not?

Also, @Androda , if you make any more of your Mac Portable BlueSCSI adapter kits, my cut portable could use one! :). I'll pick up one of your Portable RAM upgrades while I'm there. Two sales in one!

Yeah, I actually found one that appears to have had the upgrade installed: https://www.ebay.com/itm/266119310096 I also took apart the LCD assembly to see if it essentially is a M5126 LCD and assembly bolted on with an adapter board and new cable harness. I've never seen a 5126, so I'm not...

So I recently picked up a Macintosh Portable from a guy who found it in a home he was flipping. Unfortunately, no power adapter, and the cover over the floppy and hard drive area was missing. It was also a 5120, meaning no back light. When I got it home, I started disassembly with high hopes...

Appreciate the confirmation on the screen shut down experience. I never got any answers on the X1 vx X2 caps. I was even further confused when the X1 rated caps that I found on Mouser through their search arrived. In the packaging was a variety of X2 and Y2 markings on the RIFA caps. I...

Yeah, I adjusted those and it did not work. But I was reading elsewhere that there is glue on them that even if the glue is broken, the blue remaining on the adjustment screws can cause it to prevent the pots from adjusting. I think there is actually a horizontal adjustment there, it just...

So, I didn't get any responses on the X1 vs X2 caps, so I put the X2 caps I had into the PSU when all the other caps came in. (I'll swap them out when my X1 rated ones come in, but I figured if the machine can survive a full meltdown of an old X1 cap, if the X2 cap blows, it should be fine...

So have people had luck using these? Are they rated the same as the RIFAs (X1)? Trying to figure out what would be best to replace the 9 RIFA caps in a ProFile drive's power supply.

Trying to fix up a Profile Power Supply as well. Looks like one of the RIFA caps blew on this one (as did the fuse). What did you use to replace those safety caps? I couldn't tell what kind of caps would be best to replace them, but want to tackle them all while I have it apart.

The legs of the caps lock key were broken. The mechanism for holding the key down when on seems to still work. Trying to re-attach the tiny legs has been proving challenging. :(

OK, some additional questions about the RIFA caps in my ProFile drive: I mistakenly ordered X2 versions of the safety caps instead of the original X rated ones. Can I use X2 rated caps instead? Also, some of the safety caps (two 2200pF RIFAs at C2 and C3; three 0.22uF RIFAs at c12,C19,C26)...

Yeah, appears to not have the square pixel mod. There is a widget drive inside, but I'm guessing it no longer works. The ProFile smells as if it if had a RIFA cap smoke bomb, and the internal fuse had been blown. Holy cow there are a lot of RIFA caps in the power supply - 9 in total. Once...

So, a vertical hold adjustment did, in fact, stabilize the image. Unfortunately, as I was tuning the picture, the magic smoke was released. I was really hoping to test out booting before I recapped and replaced the RIFAs. Is not to be, and now my computer room smells wonderful! First time...
