Sounds like maybe a candidate for a Resource page. I just responded to someone on reddit who was about to try to hook an RCA composition video cable to his 24V power supply to try to power on his iBook... :eek:

In case anyone runs into a similar issue, I was able to resolve it using Branchus' suggestion of looking at the analog board connectors. I reflowed all of the connectors between the CRT and the analog board (paying particular attention to the red connections. When I reassembled after reflowing...

I always remember seeing the orange replacement pens, but didn't realize that was the color of the prototypes.

Ugh. Sorry...I don't know how I missed it. Not sure I'll be desoldering the LED, but I wondered if that might be the solution. Thanks for the information!

Just realized I never posted my update. The booting issue was a user error on my part. I hadn't formatted the SD card properly. My CC works great with 7.1. Up next will be a recap of the analog and logic boards, and hopefully updating it to 640x480 once the analog board is cleaned up. As...

I picked up one of these a while back and was thinking of doing something similar. I must say, they yellow worse than the space key on my IIc... I'll definitely be using this guide to help me disassemble before retrobrighting... Thanks for documenting!

@eric, I can't seem to find documentation on this, but I could have missed it. I'm installing the BlueSCSI in my SE, and had my old SCSI2SD plugged into the HD activity LED on the front if the case. Is there somewhere on the old 1.0 version of the bluescsi that I can tie into that indicates...

I've only used the case from a 540 to make my 540c (with PPC upgrade), which was bought at an estate sale in pieces, whole again. But I think the 520, 520c, 540, and 540c all share the same model number. If it's the same resolution, I'm guessing it will be a direct swap. While you're in...

Yeah, I can confirm it works on a phone. I actually built a native iOS app that allows you to browse the asciiexpress games and disks. The advantages of this over the mobile web versions of asciiexpress.net are: Easier browsing, I'll be adding a search / filter option Game art (when...

I definitely caught your emphasis. I think my response was that I find the subcategory by browsing them before I create a post, which helps with the issue. In my experience, of struggling through a long list of categories and sub-categories in the process of creating a post would be a...

Can't remember where you found the picture? Or do you actually have an orange eMate?

I think your points have merit, but having massive categories for every PPC mac would result in a large set of posts you have to sift through when maybe all you care about is g4/g5s. It’s about trade offs and ultimately you’re arguing for one set of trade offs versus others arguing for a...

Yeah, I went the cheap route and bought a off brand printer, and while I have got it to where I can print relatively reliably, it still takes a lot of tweaking, in addition to me adding things like a BL touch for bed leveling , a new print surface, and a Raspberry Pi running OctoPi. On the...

I've always navigated to the subcategory I'll be posting in before hitting post. Then there's no issue selecting from a really long list. I can also check to see if there is a similar post to what I'm discussing. Is there a reason you're posting a new thread from the root of the site?

Unfortunately the broken one is the only one I have.

It would be interesting to see if the kickstand from mine broke, or if the plastic kickstand was intact with the metal tab snapped off inside. I'm thinking the latter, by how that metal looked where it broke.

Unfortunately I didn’t have the tab or I’d have tried to JB weld that piece back on.

I recently got a Cinema Display from goodwill for $8 (+ $15 shipping) but it did not have a stand. I was hoping I could just use the leg from one of my 17" Cinema displays. Unfortunately, when it arrived I realized it wasn't just the leg that was missing, but the metal tab was actually...

I'm pretty sure those jumpers are to enable or disable termination. https://github.com/xunker/BlueSCSI#termination

OK, second update. I was able to get the CC to boot after leaving it powered on (switch turned on without pressing the power button on the keyboard). While I still can't get my 7.1 disk with the System enabler on my BlueSCSI to be recognized, I can get it to show the "Welcome to Mac" screen...
