We don't talk about iPad Macs, no no no 🎶 🎶 🎶

Here's an example of the Электроника Б6-03 — Elektronika B6-03 Digital LCD watch. This particular model, among three others, has arrived from Ukraine. It's the first of the three I've purchased which was in good enough condition to bring back to life. The other two were "battery bombed"...

I have a brief article on the RGBtoHDMI in our resources section. Make sure to check out the update for a sample profile.

That's really cool!

It ain’t much but it’s honest work. (I made an ugly clock)

And I would have got it too if it wasn't for that meddling JDW!

If it's an endeavor you're willing to undertake... a copper shim with thermal paste will be significantly more performant than a heat pad.

maybe try booting with no expansion RAM and the. Half of the RAM - and switch the sticks for the other half. You may need to change jumper settings to support none / half ram. edit: I’m on mobile, about to head out so my message is a bit short -

I've seen this boot loop on two separate machines when the 12v line was too low. A wash and a recap (analog board) brought them back to life!

I'm unreasonably excited to see these things in action — looking forward to more photos! 🤓

Tonight I'm breathing life back into my recently acquired 128k Still needs a wash and a re-cap and this bad boy will be disappointing future generations for... generations!

Here's another mod, this time with transparent 3D printing filament as a light pipe: Originally these SNES Jr. (SNS-101) don't have an LED power indicator at all. This simple mod (with my own twist, the light pipe) tidies up what feels like a "missing" feature. For this console I also...

If you have a logic analyzer or oscilloscope you can observe the central two pins — one is clock and the other is data. The data line will pulse high or low with the clock line. If you're seeing a clock and data then your keyboard is fine. Could be something on the Mac side. If you're seeing...

I'm just seeing this now — it's an incredible resource, thank you for sharing! Would you consider compiling the slides into a single Resource?

Yup, looks like it's identical to the unit Colin from This Does Not Compute (YouTube) loaned me for my reversing (I have photos on my GitHub Repo for this project Front / Back).

Finally found why the N64 logic board - which I got a great deal on - wouldn’t start (no sound / video). two pads (AD6 & AD9) had a break directly where the trace meets the pad. A quick bodge (once you find it) and I’m playing GoldenEye!

When you want to test a RGB mod but don't want to wait for a PCB. Each wire is 0.25mm 🪦

Obvious solution is to grab the hot iron with with my LEFT hand, duh!

Gosh, they must be stumped on what the "NC" half of the four letters mean. :rolleyes:

If you own a Hakko portable desoldering gun you may already know the single status LED doesn't show power status. Instead, it shows if the iron is up to target temperature and will turn off when the temperature is reached. This is an unusual choice, as it invites two immediately obvious safety...
