    Fixing Vinegar Syndrome on a PB 540c

    Yup, this is why for example with window tinting (similar adhesives) you have to use an applicator fluid, and heat to get it to work along with a squeegie (credit card or etc) to get the bubbles out and work them out while its still semi fluid. or it wont work. There are various formulations...

    Fixing Vinegar Syndrome on a PB 540c

    I just did a toshiba T1000 LCD and ran into the same problem with the bubbles. To fix it, you need an applicator fluid, the type of stuff used for laying down vinyl graphics for large format printing. But you gotta remove the panel away from the backlight assembly, lay it down on a table and...

    Oooh, I will play! Here is a picture of my WeatherSTAR 4000 I had fully reverse engineered and got running again with my own custom software. This is running a dual-68K setup with a pair of MCS51 CPUs as well, along with a ATMega and a Pi acting as the host. Also a picture of it being displayed...

    SE/30 with vertical jail bars - looking for a direction steer on my next steps

    I have gotten to the point where I replace those chips anymore. They easily get damaged from the capacitor leakage. UE8 is mandatory, and the rest are secondary. Also I have found that sometimes the VRAM itself gets damaged on the data bit outputs and its missing a bit. From the look of the...

    Reproduction RAM cards for Mac Portable

One, you cannot get the CPLDs anymore. and thats the thing pinching BMOW and his decision to potentially discontinue the Floppy Emu. and two, the RAM ICs probably ran out, which is sad :-( I have a dynamic engineering RAM card...

    Solicitation to be considered for the TinkerDifferent Board of Directors

    I am willing to throw my name in the hat. why not? I used to manage forums software back in the day, but I haven't since 2008. Back then it was IPB 2.X and Vbulletin 3 i believe. Outside of that, I typically spend most of my days on Discord versus the forum itself, but I try to be there and...

    Adding a CRT toggle switch

    I got an old clunker SE sitting around that I could experiment with this, but who knows when I will have the time to get to it. I am literally buried with other projects including rebuilding an ANS power supply that died.
