Hi, Due to a Rookie mistake I made during recapping my LC475 board, I pulled the +ve pad off the board at C35 (rear of the board by the RAM slot). There's no pad or trace left to bodge wire to on the top surface, the trace was only 2mm long and dives right into a via that I'm struggling to...

A Thing I designed a while back and finally got around to fitting and testing today. https://github.com/MDBenson/G4MDD_SFXMount/

Hi, I made a boo-boo. I tried to flash a supposedly compatible Mac ROM onto a Nvidia Quadro FX 4500 card to use in a G5 PCIe model. It didn't work and now the card is bricked. Does anyone in the UK have the equipment and skills to lift the ROM off the PCB and refresh it. It's an Atmel...

Hi, I just wondered if anyone here had successfully split and re-bonded a Titanium Powerbook G4 screen assembly without ruining the shells. I have one with a really good lid that has a wonky LCD panel and I was wondering if I could split it to either fix the issue or replace the panel but I am...

I have taken in 4 later Powerbook G3s (2 Lombard, 2 Pismo) and had a really rough time with DVD Drive modules for these. Out of 3 I've had three have been dead. Not surprising as they got heavy use in laptops of that era and the lasers are likely taco'd in them by now. I setout when I got my...

For the future edification of people who might have run into this issue, if you use a Zip100 Plus (the Parallel Port / SCSI autodetecting version) on a SCSI port, the SCSI bus is left unterminated. This will often cause issues with the SCSI bus crashing (in my case on a Mac LC475) and no devices...

(I posted this a couple other places, so apologies if you've seen this elsewhere, and I got some info that may or may not be useful, see end of post) Hi, I have a number if New World G3/4 PowerMacs and I am trying to get hold of a SCSI card to use some late 80-pin U320 drives with tgat works...
