Is there an updated BOM anywhere for the 1.1 DB25 or desktop? I see this, but I don't think it reflects the latest hardware revision.

I can already imagine the many uses people could get from a filament that's the correct color. OEM looking "Mystic" I/O covers, new badges, feet, etc. I wonder what the costs would be to create a "PowerBook Gray" version as well. I have bought gray filament in the past only to realize it looks...

I'm wondering if Teac (who manufactured the drive) also designed that bezel, or if that was an Apple part which was mated to the 3rd party CD drive. I think a 3D printed reinforcement bracket seems like a very good option! So far the superglue has worked to hold the eject latch together, but...

At this point drilling it out may be your only option. Once the case is off there may be enough of the threads exposed to grip it with pliers and totally remove it. I feel your pain having dealt with a stripped brass standoff inside a case very recently!

I hate to disappoint, but I am not the legend behind "Garrett's Workshop"... we just share the same name with the same spelling!

I did some disassembly this evening and found the culprit. The latch responsible for closure and eject was cracked in half. I am going to try superglue as a first stab at it, but if that doesn't work I'll model something to 3D print. After the glue dries overnight, I'll post some results!

My $0.02 - the OEM expansion card was much taller and heavier than what you've designed, and likely needed the rails on the chassis for support due to the torque that could have potentially been exerted on the motherboard connector. With your design I wouldn't be concerned with utilization of...

I have a CD-ROM expansion module with a strange issue. It will only read discs if I hold the mechanism in place and press into the laptop. If I release, the disc spins down and unmount from the OS. Ejecting also only works if I release my hold on the door right as I hear the click of the latch...

Nice looking 1400! There are actually two different logic board revisions, and you'll have to look at your ROM chips to see which one you have. I ran into a similar situation where the only option was to swap the entire board. From what I remember it was a pain to remove from the chassis, but...
