@JDW thanks so much for your reply! I'm pretty new to electronics troubleshooting, so this would be a great test to get to understand how the transistor functions in the circuit! Thanks for the detailed description too 😀 That’s helpful for me just getting my head around all of this. Someone...

@JDW do you what the component is I have circled in the OP or how i would go about finding out what it is? Your videos have always been so helpful, and i was able to bring a mac plus back for my stepdads retirement thanks to you!

The capacitor is fine, unless the 3 legged black thing labeled b6 is a capacitor, but i would assume it'd be labeled with a "c" on the silk screen then. The issue, I suspect is with this component, not the capacitor.

Yes, My blue sticker reads MP-F75W-11G and below that a smaller white sticker that reads MFD-75W -01G

Hi @retr01! I had it in the title, but it's an LC II, with a sony branded superdrive.

Hey all, a while back, while doing some cleaning, I managed to damage one of my 3.5" Superdrives. It's taken me some time to narrow down the issue. I had just cleaned it and was testing disks, so I had it connected, just setting loosely in the chassis, I lifted the front to insert a disk, and I...

@Branchus can I ask what software you used to build this STL - I'm new to this and trying to figure out what the best tools are! I'm planning to build the motherboard standoff clips and the internal power switch clip (all of which are broken on mine) as an STL and share them here in case anyone...

Possibly, my brother users alcohol based inks to add to resins to adjust the color - so it's definitely something to try... I'm just trying to get my prints dialed in right now and get some pieces I need printed before I move onto color matching more!

Well, here are the examples. I'm not sure I'd recommend this resin however. I'm very new to SLA printing, so take this with a grain of salt (my brother does print professionally so I have some help in this) but I'm struggling to get quality prints from it - it's tending to pull away from lower...

I've been experimenting with some various colors - and I've found that the Rich Opto Grey to be pretty close to the Snow White color - I'll try and get a photo of it next to a couple of lc's and with a very yellowed G3 just for good measure here and upload it later. Here's the product I'm...

I have an SLA printer in the hopper, and I'm looking forward to starting to print some new parts for the many broken on my beige G3 desktop. I'm wondering if anyone has found good matches for color in a resin yet?!

Yeah, i was curious as to what @jcm-1 did exactly in case anyone else runs into that situation! I know on the LCII the 1uv/10v cap by UA10 trace is really easy to tear and that results in no sound, but everything else working lovely. I was just curious of what exactly he found with the boards in...

@jcm-1 what did you end up finding?!

Hey all, just wanted to follow up on this since I had to replace my pins on my LCII and my pins were slightly different that what was listed. My power supply was the TDK branded one, but the pins in mine were these: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/molex/0008520112/1130605 (0008520112...
