I would say at this point if you do any work on any 100 series laptop you should be prepared to repair broken plastics. Not sure about super glue/baking soda but I used a construction epoxy adhesive with great results. As for the baking, just remove the glass panel LCD sandwich, pop it on an...

$450 delivered seems like a fair chunk of cash you want someone else to pay to explore your idea. I doubt anyone here has pockets that deep. Baking works, I’m sticking with that since it’s essentially free.

Here’s my entries:

Yes it is delicious! 10.2 is the most recent OS that can still communicate with unmodified System 6 using AppleTalk, can also communicate with OS13 via modern Ethernet protocols. It’s the sweet spot for a cross generational file server.

For reasons to do with LocalTalk I’m wanting to install OS 10.2 onto a G4 Mac Mini. Minimum supported os is 10.3 I’ve put in a hard drive with an existing install of 10.2.8 (server) and it boots but there’s no video drivers so the screen is just a weird black and white unscaled mess.

I did try the tab tightening technique, although the guy posted this method on a Facebook group, same guy though I believe cause he also mentioned the chip reprogramming method. I didn’t see any difference in my testing. But hey it’s worth a shot, the moisture theory is only a theory. I reckon...

Sounds great, sign me up for several!

Are you sure the internal signal is RGB? Wouldn’t think that would be useful on a greyscale lcd. perhaps on a colour lcd, but even then I’m not so sure.

It’s probably not a bad idea to throw a few silica bags under the bezel when reassembling, provided there’s enough room.

Great to know, thanks for that, I’ll amend the description. 👍

Oops! Sorry about that, sorted now!

Hi everyone! My name is Johann and I made the video linked earlier in the thread. I’ve made another video where I try baking the LCD panel and have achieved great results. Not 100% better but close. I suspect more baking will yield better results. Short of buying a new panel this is the only...
