Interesting video on making of TFT LCD. There is a baking process but that happens after each etched layer. It seems that the sealant is created to keep the liquid crystals contained. So maybe there is a leak between layers? I know there was a YouTuber that was creating their own LCD's at home...

So I think I've solved it for now. I baked the screen at different temperatures with different results. First I tried YouTuber TheBasement's approach and put it in an oven for 10 hours at 185 degrees farentheit. The screen looked good for 15 to 20 minutes and went right back to as bad as it was...

Ok, finally was able to do my tap test. It failed. I tried twice, the second time, while firmly pushing down the circuit board to the bezel, I tapped pretty rigorous with a small hammer. Any harder would not have been wise. The screen still showed signs after 45 minutes. Is it less bad? That is...

I've been experimenting with my Powerbook 180. The pictures below are after I opened up the screen and torqued the convectors at the corners of the circuit board towards it (so 2-3 on each side...not just twisting them vertically but also horizontally). Outside temp in mid 70s. The first...

Yup, I got that from your informative video. The one difference is that I didn't just twist the tabs but also tried to torque them towards the board to get a more snug fit, pressing the LCD between the metal bezel and the circuit board. It seemed to help a bit with screen lasting longer and...

Sure, feel free to crosspost.

So I had an idea. I know that Johann did a video on his YouTube channel, The Basement, where he a) disproved the quick fix method of tightening the tabs, and b) baked the LCD with some success. The quick fix, I believe, came from another YouTuber in an under 5 minute video where he claimed that...

I posted the wrong ebay link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/265575718055 ...but in that description it actually states that the 50 pin IDE can't be used with normal IDE controllers. Curious what those other 6 pins are all about.

Did anyone ever create such a beast? I owned a Mac IIsi and recall there were lots of cool drivers back then for it (i.e. I got my Brother M-1109 printer to do some cool stuff with the right driver). I suppose the more accurate answer would be a serial driver for either System 6 or 7... Why...

First, apologies if this has been talked about. I did try and search for it first but the search didn't focus on PowerBook's and there were a lot of general results that didn't quite give me what I wanted. So, I found this on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/280911143406 Would these work in a...

I recently purchased a Pb 180 and it has the tunnel effect (takes some time to show signs). This seems to be such a common problem for these model Macs, why hasn't anyone created replacement panels? There's a YouTuber that did this for the TRS-80 Pocket Computer. He sold them for $20 a screen...
