Getting compact Macs in my side of the world is very difficult! You simply can't get them. When they do surface, ppl ask an arm and a leg for it! I only have the case and the motherboard! I want to hook it to a power source and use an LCD. For HD I'll go with a BlueSCSI.

Hi. I’m a total technical imbecile. I can only follow very logical instructions 😛 I have an SE/30 board I’d like to put back to life. I got a pico atx to power it up. Now I’m looking for a solution for the video output. My question: is any of the solutions mentioned in this thread available...

Hi Folks. I have 3 powermac G4. I was thinking about upgrading the MDD to a better graphics card. I know ppl usually use PC equivalents flashing them to become Mac compatible. I’ve been searching the net but I could not find a list of the cards that would work on the Mac. Does anyone know of...

Once again thank you very much!!! I removed the diode and confirmed it was indeed shorted. I kinda reassambled the powerbook to test it, and it chimed!!! I could not test it further because the screen is cracked. I didnt know if the crack was superficial or if it affected the screen. It does...

Thanx!! I know near to zero about electronics. I probed D15, with a multimeter, in continuity mode, and it beeped. F1 also beeped but I suppose thats ok for a fuse. I understand D15 is shorted, then. Should I replace only this diode and test the system again? Would you be kind enough to...

Hi folks. I got an "as is" Powerbook 180. It was extreamly cheap for Brazilian standards: R$200 what translates today to US$41. I tried to power it on with a 7.5V center positive power supply. Nothing. I noticed a little of a burning plastic smell on the power supply connection. Next step was...

Nothing to apologize for! It's already great! I, as biomedical scientist, would never produce such a thing!!! :p:LOL:😂🤣

Thanx. I’ll resubmit it. ☺

It is indeed doable. A lot of ppl have used RGBtoHDMI to hook LCDs to compact macs. I already saw ppl feeding power directly to the motherboard. The color signals from the PDS slot I just heard of, never saw. What I don’t have is an accurate pin out schematic.

I just saw this and I decided to have the board printed. I am a complete tutorial-follower :ROFLMAO: I have no technical knowlage whatsoever. When submiting the zip files I downloaded from the github, PCBWay gives me this: What´s the correct answer?

Hi folks. I got an SE/30 motherboard. I already had an SE case. I'm planning on putting it together with a Pico-PSU (+ -5V adapter board), blue-SCSI and an LCD display. I know the J12 connector on the motherboard receives power and outputs video signals. Questions: Do anyone know of a...

Hi folks. I Just watched a You Tube video by @gruz where he shows some of his big box vintage mac games. The life of a vintage mac user, and now collector, outside US/Europe/Japan has never been easy, as we had to rely on imports (sometimes illigal imports) to buy anything mac related. Big...

I am only a hobbyist, I’m trying to repair one and it’s driving me crazy 🤣 But I know you are in another level!!!! I follow all the videos about your amazing products!

Classic boards are more complicated as they have both power supply and crt control all together in the same board. I would happily send you one, PM me your mailing address. Btw I’m in the very opposite of the planet from you!!!

Next step Classic Analog Board Resurrection? 🤣 I’d buy a couple!

I finally got them to print correctly on my sh**y Anet N4. I printed them tilted 15º and had to slightly sand the bottom and the hole. But now my 3 drives are ejecting.

I tried fixing three drives. None would read a disk. I succeded on one of them and lost my patience with the latter two...

Thank you @eric , it was a little fiddly, but

It just sais the disk is unreadable and offers to format it, which fails. I’ve tested the disks on my g3 beige and they are ok. They are also readable on an USB floppy drive. I will check those resources , thanx!

Hi folks. I got my old Classic and a newly aquired Classic II up for restauration. ✔ Both motherboards are working fine after recaping ✔ One analog board is working after recaping (the other one needs more work) ✔ Internal blue scsi on both ✔ succesfully printed (after almost giving up twice)...
