Ahh boy, the dreaded forgot -to-check-the-ram pass over - done that a couple times myself in my rush to fix a machine. That polishing really looks fantastic. I have the exact polish so will grab some of those rotary pads this weekend. Totally going to shine up my imacs :D

Ok, got around to doing mine. The led strip I bought came with the wrong tip (6.5mm barrel jack) so I cobbled together 12v& ground molex to a 4.5mm plug to power the strip and voila, it turned on. I split power from the optical drive. Being LED I thought the 3.3v would work but not enough juice...

Not at all. The speaker opening is conical in shape on the QS so the adapter rested on the interior taper of said opening, never reaching the speaker.

Before anything I would plug em in and see if a cuda reset will bring them back to life. My B&W on occasion has shown absolutely no life after fiddling with its bits - that behavior included non-functioning power button. It presents like a completely dead box/psu, so if you dont know, its easy...

Yep, my suggestions fall short of what you are looking for. Best of luck to you. :)

I use hostinfo in terminal or machine to find cpu type.

Sure looks cool but that is prohibitively pricey!

How’s this going?

Very nice - love the enclosure. I live in the sweet spot around my neck of the woods where there are no deer. We have a ton of mule deer around here but I’m far enough away from the mountain foothills and far enough from the river/bosque to not have to worry about them. The only critter I see...

With the prices of lumber *much* more rational, I built a new 1/2 bed that buttresses up to my tool shed. I repurposed some random pavers the previous owners had left stacked up behind the shed for the shed facing foundation, dumped in some yard waste and compost in the bottom, then about 5...

I know this is a thing for vintage toys like Starwars & Action Man for example although Ive not run into it for retro big box video games. I wonder if one of the SW/AM repro box makers would consider big box video games? Some do custom boxes, so worth a shot to ask maybe...

Very coool! Hold on to them 😀

LOL I did the same thing. :D

They read like a current day evolved version of TOTC corn plastics like the stuff folks use to make biodegradable trash bags for composting etc. Some neat stuff out there. The water soluble stuff is a synthetic polymer but is not technically a plastic I guess. It dissolves in water and came...

I'm no plastics expert but I thought this was an easy & informative read on plastics/polymer behavior. https://www.pslc.ws/mactest/mech.htm#:~:text=In%20short%2C%20rigid%20plastics%20tend,they%20tend%20not%20to%20break. From what I found on the interwebs, the brittle nature of plastic is a...

Pair positioning is: slot 4 slot 3 slot 2 slot 1 ------- slot 1 slot 2 slot 3 slot 4 You install and remove the ram in pairs starting with slot 1.

Hit the affected ram slots with a hot hair dryer for a few minutes, then boot up and see if the full ram is detected. If they are, likely its not the ram and is instead the slot that would need to be reflowed. IIRC the ram has to be in pairs, so you can remove the affected slot/pair and see if...

That would be fun for a lot of folks I think. I wonder if the “museum” could be part of an existing museum; more as an exhibit. That would certainly eliminate a lot of the initial cost and effort allowing one to focus on the curated content vs administrative tasks. I also saw this video last...
