    iBook Clamshell Vinegar syndrome LCD repair

    That's a very specialized repair that very few people do. Glad you decided to try and wrote about it! From what I understand it's more of problem in hot and humid climates so I don't really see that in Canada. There's a great video about this problem on YouTube: Vinegar Syndrome, a disease...

    NuBusFPGA: HDMI on NuBus Macs

    If you're interested can probably modify the reference design of the shield model I made so your card would have a backplate: https://github.com/alxlab-zone66x/Reference_Design_Library/tree/main/Connector%20Shield%20for%20Macintosh%20II-Family%20Computer

    Reimplementing the Mac SE's BBU

    I was just thinking that at some point when you start replacing/overriding so much like this: you're probably better off just making a new mainboard lol. I was actually thinking it would be cool to just modify Kai's SE Reloaded board to have a single 72-pin ram slot and replace all the...

    T15 Torx Screwdriver for Compact Macs

    Yeah I do the same thing. I use a generic Chinese precision screw driver set since the bit holder is telescopic. Think I paid roughly $10-$15 CAD for it like 10 years ago. The socket bits in any of these kits are also very useful for putting back mac floppy drive plastic retention rings as well.

    Yeah putting a hole in the case is one way to fix the height issue. I messure the clearance on mine and realistically you could fix a heatsink and fan is the total height is 15mm or less. This a good example where a heatsink would be ideal if it put the heatsink directly above the case fan. I...

    Yeah heatsink and fan size can really vary depending what model computer you planning to use. Think I can fit a really tall heatsink and fan in an LC 630 no problem, but less so in a Color Classic and even less in the LC 475. I did find some copper heatsinks that might work for you JDW. Ideally...

    Also found this that seems to be similar but with clips on the side. Found them on Aliexpress with search heatsink 4041s: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32542931108.html

    Ah an LC 475. Yeah those are tight. The 8MB stick is even taller than your stick and overlaps the CPU quite a bit. I actually found a couple for auctions for the low profile 45mm with fan heatsink you got. It seems to be originally for geforce 256 cards. It also seems to have 2 models...

    Yeah want it be better than tape. Forgot to mention that when installing I would recommend slipping it on one edge first and then use a screw driver the bend the clip outward a bit on the opposite edge while pushing down . This will help prevent damage to lip on the clip that holds onto the...

    Thank you very much for the references :) It's nice to have my projects being seen and hopefully used by people. I don't have the 60mm fan attachment part done yet, but with just the clip and heatsink, you can grab the clip and shake the board and the clip will not come off :)
