Never thought I'd be glad to hear its an AliExpress item, but in this new world of our precious vintage Macs being labeled as e-Waste and US Customs now blocking exports to destinations outside the USA, it's nice to know that I, being in Japan, could obtain that LCD without issue. Whew!

Wow. That looks pretty nice, and not just the case. The LCD looks quite sharp. What is the availability and price of that LCD?

And just to let you all know, I left the same PDQ connected (the one I used DeOxit on yesterday), with the same AC power adapter connected, for a total of 24 hours, but upon pressing the Power button on the PDQ this morning, nothing happened, and no small "pop" sound from the speaker. As I...

In my specific case, yes, I have two, specifically made for the PDQ machines. Model M4402. I uploaded photos here. But the reason we are discussing the right angle adapter is for the sake of using an alternative, modern AC adapter. If one uses a mere "compatible Apple" adapter, it too would...

I actually started investigating that right angle adapter from Bix a couple days ago, but they want $45 for shipping alone which is an absolute ridiculous amount considering the size and weight of that thing. It’s totally utterly unacceptable. It’s quite sad too because in theory it should...

I appreciate all advice. Below is the result. STEPS PERFORMED: Disconnected AC Adapter and pressed the power button for several seconds. Removed CPU card and both RAM modules from it. Removed Hard Drive Put 100% IPA onto a soft cloth and meticulously wiped down the gold pads on both sides of...

I've not tested the headphone jack or the VGA output connector because I've not had need too. Today's reveal shows why. Today, for that one time only, I got a boot chime (which means the internal speaker works, and there's no need to check for sound via the headphone jack) and I also got the...

I sincerely appreciate you’re having made time to give me advice. Unfortunately, I know from firsthand experience that desoldering electrolytic capacitors and then measuring them, even using one of the best handheld LCR meters like the DE-5000, will sometimes give you readings that make you...

Well, remember there are five electrolytic capacitors on the main DC board that sits between the two drive bays. Those are the only electrolytic capacitors in the entire machine. And they sit quite a long distance from the smaller DC board that is where the barrel plug attaches from your AC...

Something good but strange happened today. I accidentally left the Apple AC power adapter connected to the PDQ and to the wall socket all last night, and just for the heck of it, I pressed the power button. To my surprise, I heard a boot chime and then 15 seconds later, I saw the display light...

I wish to humbly thank you for testing and for the confirmation that the same problem happens on a real LISA. And just for the record, I did disable MultiFinder and restart, but that did not resolve anything for me. So I guess this really raises the question as to why those two games were...

Thank you for the explanation about the sound. But I am curious about the games crashing because those games were specifically chosen to be on a disk image that’s made available on the LISA FPGA GitHub. And so, I would simply like to ask if my fellow Lisa FPGA owners could boot from that...

Tried that with my IIgs keyboard, but it didn't resolve the problem... :cry: I'm not the only PDQ owner to experience the same exact thing... https://68kmla.org/bb/threads/powerbook-g3-pdq-wont-start.39230/ Sadly, as you can see at the URL above, that case was left open-ended because no...

Not "everyone," thankfully, but I've helped out several people over the past couple years, the most recent being @phipli , and the only reason I mention that is to simply let everyone know his predicament has been resolved. Agreed. I will go further to boldly say that Buyee needs to go out of...

I put Alex’s software on an microSD card and have been testing LISA FPGA using that. Have any of you booted into Mac Works Plus System 6 using the H ROM and found the two included games freeze? I can play Lode Runner but there is no sound, and every time I finish the first level, the LISA...

One person on FaceBook is giving me feedback, and I just tried two different methods, although both have the same bad result... METHOD #1 (PMU RESET) 1. Press only Shift + Fn + Control 2. Connect Barrel plug to computer 3. Quickly press POWER button RESULT: fan spins full blast and LED lights...

Yes, and that keyboard sequence is on the back of the computer too. I've tried it without success multiple times. Here are high resolution photos of the component side and black side of the PMU circuit board. And while the utter lack of burned components doesn't guarantee something is bad...

Where is there a PMU "reset button" on the "PDQ"? (Mine is indeed a "Wallstreet" in that it is 2nd gen., but technically it is "PDQ"). I don't think the PDQ has such a button, but I'd long to be proven wrong about that. Which is shown in this iFix it photo... Unfortunately, that is...

It is a major limitation for people like myself who mostly have Apple keyboards, all of which (USB models) have hubs. But beyond that, none of the Windows PC keyboards we have at the office would work either, except for one LENOVO brand, which I cannot use personally because it's our office...

I found the ideal way to measure the voltage output... But I too am not getting any chime or video, and yet you say your experience differs from mine, so what in particular was different in your case? Did the LED never turn off in your case? Because my green LED lights only a couple seconds...
