It's maybe 2x better in quality, but certainly not 7x better. So yes, it is important to order many things at once. I ordered 5 different kinds of prints when I submitted my JLCPCB order, and I wanted to order more than that, but some STL files were "imperfect" according to JLC, and some of...

The CFM spec speaks about "air flow" and that tends to be tied to the RPM spec. Here's how the 5 fans I tested show airflow in the back, which admitedly is also impacted by the blade design. The blades and fan shape can determine whether more air flows straight out the back (which push my white...

Updated numbers as of just now... (Can't figure out how to prevent it from converting to Japanese Yen. Frustrating.) Mark, your Kickstarter page will have a spot in the new video I'm working on right now, because the product I'm showcasing in that video (Synchr030/S) has LEDs that can easily...

@wottle So it seems the on the LEFT in your photos is PCBWay because it "clearly" looks better than the one on the right in terms of transparency. And the fact it has the Apple logo is a huge difference that cannot be understated. I therefore would consider the COST and WAIT TIME to be...

Well, there are a few step-by-step videos out there which prove that it can be fixed. :) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNZ4qjMn-GHp9Krb6OMwdC8bJcCF3GzNt Be sure you do NOT throw it out because there are definitely good components on there which could be salvaged for other repairs (be...

@polpo Kudos on your excellent testing work. 👏 I've added a pinned comment linking to your post under my video...

Will finger oil wear off paint over time?

That link is now dead. And while I did another search for them there, shipping is rather pricey, and they come in oddball numbers like 5pcs. Since you would need 6pcs for two Macs, 5pcs isn't really that great a deal. I see the same here on Amazon USA...

Wow! Love it!

400mV is the Forward Voltage Drop, and that value depends on how much current your meter is running through it, but it sounds like a reasonable value for a good diode. And of course, reading it the reverse way should get you the Overload reading. I look forward to hearing the result of your...

As I thought, the oldest Flyback model and one that lacks a bleeder resistor too... That doesn't mean it's bad, but many were swapped out for newer flybacks over time. Sadly, finding replacement flyback is very hard these days because you almost always need to extract them from another Mac...

Please shoot a photo of the sticker on that flyback so we can see which model it is. I'm curious if it's a very old model. Next, please wait until it's dark, then turn off all room lights and make sure there are no LEDs or ANYTHING that would produce light. You need a 100% pitch black room...

Wow! I see on the Kickstarter page that you met the $19k goal very quickly, illustrating how much pent up demand there is for those fabulous clear cases!

Could you post a photo?

On the FR-301, Colin? The reason I ask is because my FR-301 has only 4 dial settings... So far, I've only dared to go as high as setting #2 because that is marked as being 400°C. However, I've never tried to desolder the CPU before, so it very well could require more heat, especially on...

Even if that "hard disk image" is used as a CD image? (Meaning, a rogue Mac could technically corrupt CD images on a MacSD's SD card by forcibly writing to that CD image?)

Prior to getting a Hakko FR-301 desoldering gun, I paid @Kay K.M.Mods (a true professional!) to desolder my SE/30 CPU and install a socket. He did a fine job, but it's best if you refrain from using the desoldered CPU (black plastic top) in your socket in the future because there is a tiny bit...

@YMK I spotted this post by @David Cook where he asks this: What is the easiest way to make a read-only volume on MacSD? The first thing that came to my mind was the CD-ROM feature of MacSD, but making an ISO can be troublesome, and you can't just rename a *.dsk to be *.iso to trick MacSD...

Thank you for the photos. Unfortunately they are not high enough resolution for me to see any possible leakage, but you would really need to remove the entire PCB from its metal housing to view both top and bottom anyway. It's troublesome to do that, I know, but it really does need to be done...

I'm afraid I cannot identify the crack in your uj11.png photo, and other than being a but dirty, I don't see anything unusual in you ue10.png photo either. But neither photo is high resolution or tack sharp, so I guess my eyes are not seeing what your eyes are seeing. Now as to the dark spots...
