Well, if we're all sharing... 🤓 Solder: Kester Rosin Core 63/37 (link) Flux: Amtech 4300/lF or 4300-TF (link) Wick: Superwick #453-NS No Clean (any length, link)

Wow, an exciting project! I realized in my collection I have an LC II and LC III, but not an LC (which I swore I had at one point). Getting one of these logic boards would certainly help scratch that itch. Well done! 👏

Wow, a thrilling saga! I can't wait for the epic conclusion. :love: I say it'll turn on! Wow, those look great! I wanted to do the same to the metal support for my SE/30 before installing it in a MacEffects case, but I couldn't find a place (yet) local that would do parts this small.

Rest assured they don’t all work and plenty of them may barely constitute an entire system. 😅

That is very similar to the one I have, it worked fine when it did!

No matter how I pronounce it, I know it’ll be wrong! 🤣 I pronounce it “lie dough”, but… 🤷‍♂️

Thanks Bruce! I think I'll go ahead and order that one, I found a decent deal on eBay. I'll let everyone know how it turns out. :)

Hello everyone! I think it's finally time to replace my Yihua hot air gun (pictured below). I've stopped using the soldering iron when I got a new one, but I've been relying on this for my repairs. Sadly, it seems to be slowly losing it's juice. The air doesn't seem to be coming out as hot or...

FYI I think you replied to the wrong thread ;-)

Witchcraft! o_O I had a Power Macintosh 6100 that I had System 7.6.1 and Mac OS 8 on. I installed the same Apple PhotoFlash software package on both operating systems, but I got nonsensical errors on Mac OS 8. Unless you are using a different piece of software? I'd love to know!

Some of you may have seen my attempts (link) on YouTube of me trying to fulfill the promise of Steve Jobs during the iMac G3 debut. And that is the action of beaming digital camera photos to the iMac via wireless IrDA. I'm using a Kodak DC260 camera which has an IrDA 1.0 compaliant port on it. I...

Yes, remove the handles, pack them safely with bubble wrap (maybe even place them inside the machine). I'd also remove all PCI/memory modules too to ensure they don't move around during shipping. Then blanket the tower with bubble wrap and box it up, you may wish to double-box it if you can...

Can you provide photos? I may not be up to the reball task, but I'd be interested in seeing what caps need to be replaced.

First Apple: Apple IIgs First Mac: Macintosh IIcx Favorite Mac: Oh boy... the Key Lime Clamshell iBook, G3 MiniTower, and the Macintosh IIcx Strengths: Finds it difficult to give up, even when all logic dictates this crazy thing won't work! Weaknesses: Remembering where I just put that one...

I may be able to help you out. Mike reminded me I have a system capable of doing so! :)

I just bought a CameraMate new in box, sealed, off eBay not even 1 week ago. On the back of the box it shows compatibility for both types of SmartMedia card. There were a few on there for under $25. I discovered it will NOT work on modern machines. (Like my Mac Pro running Mojave). The LED...

Oh wow, I'd actually love one of those... not for that price though... just to open it up and document the heck outta it! :love:

Yes, SwitchRes is a good utility for this, but you'll likely need to run it on all of the systems. It also may be less of a headache to find another LCD which has a 4:3 aspect ratio, or one that supports more common resolutions.

In situations like this I would suggest to carefully check your capacitor work around the sound chip area. In addition, I've experienced a LC 575 board which had a similar issue. It turns out there was a break in a trace near one of the capacitors that was impossible to see without my...

If either of my 2400 machines worked I'd gladly be the guinea pig... :(
