Just need someone to design the part. I want to learn 3D modeling this year but this is a very tricky part to start with.

Has anyone designed 3D printed replacements for these? I’m going to be fixing a couple of 500 series hinges but this cover isn’t going to stay put like this. Should be as simple as designing a part to clue onto the curved bit of the plastic but I would know how to measure the curve to do it myself.

You’ve verified it works with the correct voltages and another logic board? If so, broken trace near the RAM would be my next guess.

First thing you should do is check the voltages off the hard drive molex connector. Put a multimeter in the first and 3rd pin and then the 2nd and 4th pin, these will be your 5 and 12v rails, not sure which is which. If they're too low or too high, you've got analog board issues.

Well that was quick. Ripped the membrane slightly near the bottom left but not all the way so it *should* be fine. Both should be recoverable but I’ll start by just rebuilding one hopefully later this month.

Yeah it definitely is. I’ll bet it’s an early revision as it came from a grayscale 540 which was only sold up to October 1994. I’m cracking the second one open now. Going quicker this time since I know how now, and I’m taping it as a tutorial of sorts. This one’s leaked more but it should be...

Victory!

It worked for me on my G5, although only under leopard WebKit and I couldn’t send any messages as I wasn’t signed in. InterWeb threw a not supported error from YouTube’s end and I didn’t try ArcticFox.

Well something is seriously wrong here. After taking this photo it began to repair a bunch of permission issues.

Threw me with a “Could not modify partition map (-9986) on disk disk1s3 Sorbet Leopard R15”

Basically, I setup a sorbet partition on my G5, restored to it. It should be 250GB in size, but instead: - Disk utility reports 250GB capacity, 8.6GB used, and 661MB Free - Finder reports 9.21GB capacity and 661MB available. Any idea what’s up? Sorbet does boot on the partition, but I’m booted...

Watching too right now, but only from a boring modern smartphone I’m afraid. I need to get that setup on my G5!

Made it most of the way but now I’m stuck and wary of damaging anything, particularly the orange ribbon around the battery contacts.

It was talking about some sort of joystick in the menus I believe.

Finally, Mac-Man. Got it running under vMac, and I have to say it isn't much fun. I normally quite enjoy pac-man style games, but in this one, the enemies are always way faster than you, and they nearly always directly chase you, which makes it extremely infuriating and difficult to play. It...

And there’s glider! Pretty tough on a passive matrix screen, but I’m on vacation right now and it’s all I had on hand.

I’ve gotten to work on Glider, need more time to get better. Here’s my second (and likely final - no way I’m beating this) score on Flappy Mac

Can you send images through it? Sounds useful, may try it later!

Sweeeeeeeet! How would this compare to TenFourFox (interweb) in terms of rendering abilities/speed?
