Oooh. So that would attach to a generic 44-pin header though, right?

@Zane Kaminski what *is* the part number for the original connector? I've been unable to source it at all!

Something i've been working on, is a list of all the Apple Custom ASIC's, where they're used, and also the pinouts of the chips in question. I've started with the Compact Macs so far, but i'll be expanding this over time. If anyone has access to internal Apple datasheets for any of these parts...

I always get consistently good results from Retrobriting this way - I just wish i had some spare Apple badges! Also for the chassis and metal parts - i found leaving them in my ultrasonic bath at 70*c for an hour, then hitting them with a 15 minute full sweep of ultrasonic cleaning made it look...

https://visio-for-engineers.blogspot.com/2018/02/factron-s700-testers.html Looks like part of this -^

The way i see it, the forum is only 12 days old, officially. Yes, there are some empty categories so far, but give it time :)

That's not even the electrolyte, that's the solder mask that's become black because of the electrolyte, it's seeped underneath and eaten it from beneath.

I have that on a lot while i work....or cook. Rarely have anything on while eating though, my wife & i prefer to chat :)

Yep its missing the BBU and the SCC looks toast. I can send you a spare BBU, but the SCC you can buy new. It may also require you to get a Reloaded SE board, if the trace and pad damage is as severe as i think it is.

Stickied!

I'm imagining you opening up a trench coat and going "pssst, you wanna zip drive? It's totally legit, promise..." 🤣

Oh it's more than likely that it's crispy concrete by now, but sonnet make their heatsink screws out of alloy cheese -_-

Thinking about it, the BBU does have issues wth two chip 1MB SIMM's - i seem to recall i knew why, but i can't place the reason why...

I've seen a few heatsinks like this - mostly on the DA and Quicksilver models. I can take more detailed pics later this weekend, as it is though, i've got a buggered wrist that's not making things easy! The countertops are a lie - veneer over chipboard ;)

This is some excellent content, and i'm stickying this to make sure it remains visible!

Excuse the sink full of washing up! This arrived a week ago but I've not even had a chance to unbox it! I'd like to get a dual cpu upgrade for this, or should I install my Sonnet Encore ST/1800 that I scored off @Bolle a few months ago? I do also have a Radeon 9600XT from a G5, and a Geforce...

Check the startup circuit in order: RED, YELLOW, ORANGE, BLUE, DARK GREEN, LUMINOUS GREEN have you got continuity and the correct resistances? BTW U12 looks suspect to me. The full part number is 343S0120 - it's a 5v Regulator IC made by Sony. Available from Exshine and UTSource.

Bought for a bargain, from US eBay - sold as not working - seller stated it wouldn't boot into the OS, or froze. I have an inkling that it's either the correct extension not being loaded, or there's an issue with the cache. The cache sits on the rear of the card and it looks like a QFP that's...

Depends on the solder and the gauge of it - i use Kester 0.4mm 63/37 and 350 to 360 degrees is fine, although if a chunky ground plane is involved, then i just set the station to YES.
