OK, So I answered my own questions. First, I made a massive mistake soldering on the key switches without realizing they need to go on AFTER the red rubber later and the top plate (the part with the stabilizers). So desoldering all those switches was fun! The correct order of assembly, for...

@demik , I got my PCBs in today. I am trying to re-use the ADB cable from my original keyboard. I'm not too familiar with the pin markings for the cable (G V A P E). The wires in my cable are black, white, red, green, and blue. Any help on which goes to which? Or if you know which pin on...

I replaced it with one of @Androda 's boards. It was working. I put it up for a bit and now it only boots a fraction of the boot chime. Battery voltage is fine...

I might be in the market for a Portable logic board. Mine was originally working fine, but now refuses to boot past a partial boot chime. Haven't had a chance to dig in to figure out what might be going on, but I had a decent amount of damage around the hybrid board and I repaired a few traces...

I do as well, however: 1. I don't want to put the wear and tear on that keyboard 2. That arrow key layout! I'm going to be trying to put one of these together. Only have one keyboard with the correct ANSI chip, but will be a fun project. Steal some switches from my son and will be nice to...

I have a chance to pick up a Lisa Mouse that was originally with the Lisa 2 I picked up earlier this year. I was looking on eBay and the prices are crazy. I am currently using one of my Mac Plus mice and it works fine, but I really would like to have the original keyboard and mouse. Is the...

Thanks again for you help and your patience! :)

Went to look at the board. I'm an idiot. It was UF8...

No, I mis-typed. It was the UG8 chip... Too many chips and schematics rattling around in my head. I updated my post to correct it.

OK, so we have a winner! It seems like the UF8 chip was not behaving properly. I swapped it out and the frequencies look good and the screen image is whole now! SOLUTION: I swapped out the malfunctioning chip at UF8 for one from a parts board. Thank you so much for your help!!! Edit...

Yes, I meant 119.6Hz. Pin 2 was 11.13KHz (same as TWOLINE). I show 11.13 (my multimeter isn't great) on pin 12 of UC7, confirmed that's what I see on pin 1 of UF8. Pin 3 on UF8 also read 11.13, as does pin 2 on UG6. On UG6, all the pins cut the frequency in half from 2-7, but pin 8 seemed...

OK, thank you so much for the insight. I tested and HSYNC is 22.25 and the TWOLINE is 11.125. BUUUUT, the VSYNC is 119.6KHz, which sounds like the reason for my problem (VSYNC being 2x what it should means HSYNC is relatively half of what it needs to be to keep them in sync. What drives...

The sync pins are all properly connected - no bad traces or pads. I don't have a scope to check signal (nor do I know what I'd be looking for). Is it possible its with the video multiplexors. Don't those break up processing of the video signals and then merge them together? If 2 of the 4...

The analog board has been ruled out, as I have tried a working board with this analog board and it displays fine. I also tried this logic board with a different analog board and it displayed improperly as well. If it was an analog board problem, wouldn't the image be drawn improperly. From...

OK, I'll try to decipher the schematics and do some checking. Any good resources for how to read the schematics here: https://museo.freaknet.org/gallery/apple/stuff/mac/andreas.kann/schemat.html I'm not an electrical engineer and have no background in this, so I don't really know how to read it.

The more I look at it, it seems like it is drawing every other row on the screen. Would a VSYNC issue cause this?

TLDR: Analog board adjustment has been made to no avail, compressed picture persists across multiple known good analog boards that show full picture with other logic boards. Confirming problem is on the logic board). I recently picked up an SE/30 for a steal but it had a Simasimac screen with...

^^^ This is the solution! ^^^ Ah, that is the trick! I had no idea you couldn't just "copy" (which I believe in LOS is actually a move) an app off the floppy. So you are correct, the proper way to install an app from a floppy disk (real or emulated) is to select the application, press...

Interesting. I only have the floppy emu plugged into the Lisa at the moment. When I use their 3.1 disks it doesn't prompt me for the app disks. Any idea which LOS3.1 disks you used with that process? I was able to get LisaWrite to "install" but copying the app and stationary from the 2...

Anyone have any tips on how to get a complete install, with applications, on my internal hard drive? I was able to finally get my keyboard fully working, and would not like to get a good setup of LOS 3.1 and MacWorks XL on it with a variety of apps. Thanks! BTW, this is the error I receive...
