I think the contacts on the glass just deteriorate over time and there’s nothing you can do about it. Need someone to manufacture...

    He has 3 feet for $9 I ordered some. If you want to wait I’ll send you a strip of it along with some TPU feet. Or if you don’t want to wait you can order some and send me your address and I’ll ship you some feet. I’ll print a batch now.

    Well the slightest little imperfection and they don’t roll. So this might not be a good option. I’m going to try some of this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/295763912403?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=3sRbM8MHTG6&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=vQ425jH5TBq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    Recreating Macintosh Portable Hybrid Module

    Any insight on who is behind the “New Hybrid Replacement for Macintosh Portable with Headers Rev 1.4” on eBay sold by “supersvga”? I wasn’t familiar with this one when I did my repair and ended up using the one on eBay. Seems to be working ok… I hope.. but doesn’t not look like a reverse...

    I think I’m willing. I just haven’t found the way yet. I’ve done it before to other LCD panels with that EL sheet stuff.

    Ahh! Good to hear I’m in line for a BlueSCSI portable adapter and a BlueSCSI V2 to get my portable back up and running without the need for an external drive. Just put your RAM upgrade in it today and it’s perfecto!
