Thanks! I hope the fix isn't too bad. I am not really certain if the traces have to be equal length but just to lean on the safe side I am trying to make them as close to each other as possible. It's quite hard to find anything off the interwebs these days that's useful. (Unfortunant use of AI...

Got all the traces coming from the plug run! They were a pain because they all have to be the same length. I hope they function... Edit......... I have to reroute them all. The plug is on the wrong side...

Hello everyone! My portable came to me and I was able to get it fixed. (It has a nice lcd but when it fails I want to be ready, I also want to help the community) But when doing my research so many of them have been turned to parts because of the lcd, it gets worse and worse but cant get better...

I don't know. I just thought you might be interested...

Also this guy might have a ram card you could order and build https://github.com/rezafouladian/RetroDIMM

I would suggest trying to emulate what you are trying to do in SNOW EMU using a mac plus to see if its a ram problem or not. It might not work but its worth a shot. Also I kinda have to use SNOW EMU just to put images or applications on my portable because I think my floppy drive is dead. Even...

Thanks for the confidence. I might just pry it open now that I know it won't look too bad after prying it open.

No, I was to afraid to open the original brick (because of the glue and snapping it). But I can take measurements for you. I've also almost completed the 3d model/print for it. EDIT: It looks like it would fit with room to spare.

FYI, I used a usb-c power board and a buck converter and combined them to make a replacement power supply run fully off usb-c. These are the parts I used. https://www.amazon.com/D-FLIFE-Trigger-Charger-Support-Optical/dp/B0CPDRY45Q/ref=sr_1_4?sr=8-4 and...

I sure hope it works, because if it does it will help the portable people out a ton. So many have gotten parted out just because of the lcd failing and no hope of replacement. I started this project for when my (very nice lcd only like 8 pixels dead) starts failing (does what sideburns did) I...

Yikes! I've never heard of that! Maybe ask @techknight .

Good Job! I am working on a adaptor pcb right now for internal screen replacement. It will have a plug adaptor for internal plug (that's really small) too a regular 2.54 pin header. I am also modifying rezafoulidians design of video adaptor so that I can plug the internal video into that which...

My PT-10 brother label printer, there is like one short on it on youtube and no teardown guides. So I am waiting till it totally stops working to recap it. It even has a olympics sticker and all the original paperwork. It also came with 8 label reels.

I was able to fix my portable by reflowing the solder on the 2 ic's listed above. How are you trying to get it to boot, and what have you done to your portable?

I was able to fix it by being patient... Now it's fixed! I just had to wait longer. Another portable up and running! With a unknown amount of ram in the PDS card it came with!

Hello everyone, I done so much research on the macintosh portable I didn't think it was possible to have such a hard to find infomation machine. Alright straight to the problem. I finally got my portable to boot with 2 files. A custom bluescsi.ini, a macpack vhd. But finally after flowing some...

YEAH!

@tistan01 He's right. I bought a DVD player to practice soldering on before I did my mac. So it is a good idea.

Are you going to add the macintosh portable? That would be amazing!

I have the non backlit. Here is the chip circled in the photo you gave. Your's appear to be a different model of IC but they do the same thing. Just like my ram is a different manufacturer, but both are from Japan. Under your photo is a photo of mine. My portable's
