I might take you up on that. I have not had any success with printing TPU on my 3d printer. It worked well for the battery enclosure, but I would love to get some replacement feet, and rollers for the trackball if you are able to reproduce them. Let me know how it turns out and I can pay you...

I did think about that Hybrid module when it complained about the battery level. But when the lead acid battery didn't, I wondered if it was something with the LiFePO battery. I may try to replace the hybrid module, then. Thanks!

I received the components from @Androda yesterday, as well as my Mac Portable battery adapter PCBs and spent some time last nights getting my Portable back together. Installed the new flex cable, added the BlueSCSI adapter and fresh Portable SCSI cable, and reattached the display. My first...

I didn't realize the 1.2 board could function as a pure battery without the caps and IC installed. I was simply trying to have some options in case I was concerned the super capacitors were not compatible with a M5120 with the backlight upgrade. Good to know that I can simply use the v1.2...

I actually figured I should know how to order PCBs from gerber files, so I ordered 10 of each the 1.1 and 1.2 versions of the PCB. I also kind of want to try the supercap version with no battery. I started printing some cases for when they come in. If you want one of my spares, let me know...

I've got a M5120 with the backlight upgrade. I have a 6v battery I've been using (waiting on a reproduction flex cable and BlueSCSI adapter (the machine's cables were cut). I'd love to have the ability to test this. I've not printed my own circuit boards before. Is it feasible for me to...

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...
