Ordered. Wish me luck!

I do have hot air but i might wanna try some ChipQuick anyway. it looks really easy and doesn't heat up nearby components.

I guess if I'm going to spend the effort of removing UE8, UF8 and UG8 and scrubbing the board underneath, I should just put new ones on instead of cleaning and re-installing the old ones. The link you have is for UE8, right? it is stamped TIF291CS LS166A. "If that doesn't help you can find...

I swapped out 4 different sets of RAM in bank A and also swapped out the ROM with my ROMinator and got the same problem. The Dead Mac Scrolls says check the ROM chip but that can't be it since the ROMinator shows the same problem. I do get a flashing "?" with the original ROM since the SCSI and...

Any ideas? I didn't replace the axials because they still look good. I have a working SE, can I put the SE/30 board in the SE to see if it works there? Are they interchangeable?

I have a lot of keyboards and mice as I like to match the computer with the original keys and mouse it shipped with. it looks like I don't have any that you don't have. Although I am missing that soft-touch keyboard (the second one down in the middle. That giant extended keyboard did ship with a...

Public Service Announcement: Remember to take the protective cap OFF of your soldering iron before turning it on!

I'm testing my hot air station on an old Panasonic DVD player board before unleashing it on my SE/30. I tried the push/twist method and pulled up a few pads before I gave up. I set the hot air at 370 c and removed several surface mount caps. I had never done surface mounts before, that's why I...

Does your FW card work on 8.6? If so, what card and driver are you using?

What control panel?

I got a Beige G3/266 running beautifully on 8.6. Only problem is I cannot find a firewire card that will work with it. I've tried an Adaptec AFW-4300 and an IOGear GIC430F and neither work. I've tried Firewire enabler 2.33, 2.4, 2.5 and 2.8.3. The System Profiler sees the card and Card Type...

I installed this card in my G3 233 running OS 8.6. I downloaded Firewire 2.3.3.smi and Firewire 2.5.smi from MG and both were corrupt or something so I found another version of Firewire 2.3.3.smi that worked. I plugged in a WD 500GB firewire drive that works on my G4 flat panel running OS 9.1...

Yay! that worked. Thank you!

I bought an Adaptec AUA-4000B 4-Port USB PCI Expansion Card for my G3/266 running OS 9.2.1. Apple System Profiler sees the card but I can't get a hockey puck USB mouse to work nor a USB thumb drive. When I tried to install the driver from the disk it said I already had a driver and it didn't...

I'd be happy to donate as well if there were a Patreon or something like that. Even a Venmo would be fine. I think a lot of us would be cool with that.

I think Branchus has that Blue and translucent case with the square hole on top for the jumpers. I like that one, looks pretty cool.

I've been putting the back of the board in at an angle and then snapping it down right from the start. When you 3D print stuff, you're bound to a dud every now and then. I got the bottom part to fit OK though. The lid is warped and just falls off and won't stay on so I'm just not gonna use it. I...

I got rid of the guide so now it sorta fits. The jumpers stick up too high for the lid and the little raised section under the SD slot is bending the slot. Also, pushing the card all thew aback to clear the front raised ledge makes the back of the case bent outward. I'm gonna Dremel down that...

Having the same problem as @Elemenoh. The 2 raised sections in the back that are supposed go on either side of the board sit too low causing the sd slot to get bent. But when I snap it in, it pushes the board outward causing the same problem Element had. Plus the power connector sticks forward...

That sticker fits perfectly on the back of the case, BTW. I dunno if that was the intent.
