I've not tested the headphone jack or the VGA output connector because I've not had need too. Today's reveal shows why. Today, for that one time only, I got a boot chime (which means the internal speaker works, and there's no need to check for sound via the headphone jack) and I also got the...

I sincerely appreciate you’re having made time to give me advice. Unfortunately, I know from firsthand experience that desoldering electrolytic capacitors and then measuring them, even using one of the best handheld LCR meters like the DE-5000, will sometimes give you readings that make you...

Well, remember there are five electrolytic capacitors on the main DC board that sits between the two drive bays. Those are the only electrolytic capacitors in the entire machine. And they sit quite a long distance from the smaller DC board that is where the barrel plug attaches from your AC...

Something good but strange happened today. I accidentally left the Apple AC power adapter connected to the PDQ and to the wall socket all last night, and just for the heck of it, I pressed the power button. To my surprise, I heard a boot chime and then 15 seconds later, I saw the display light...

I wish to humbly thank you for testing and for the confirmation that the same problem happens on a real LISA. And just for the record, I did disable MultiFinder and restart, but that did not resolve anything for me. So I guess this really raises the question as to why those two games were...

Thank you for the explanation about the sound. But I am curious about the games crashing because those games were specifically chosen to be on a disk image that’s made available on the LISA FPGA GitHub. And so, I would simply like to ask if my fellow Lisa FPGA owners could boot from that...

Tried that with my IIgs keyboard, but it didn't resolve the problem... :cry: I'm not the only PDQ owner to experience the same exact thing... https://68kmla.org/bb/threads/powerbook-g3-pdq-wont-start.39230/ Sadly, as you can see at the URL above, that case was left open-ended because no...

Not "everyone," thankfully, but I've helped out several people over the past couple years, the most recent being @phipli , and the only reason I mention that is to simply let everyone know his predicament has been resolved. Agreed. I will go further to boldly say that Buyee needs to go out of...

I put Alex’s software on an microSD card and have been testing LISA FPGA using that. Have any of you booted into Mac Works Plus System 6 using the H ROM and found the two included games freeze? I can play Lode Runner but there is no sound, and every time I finish the first level, the LISA...

One person on FaceBook is giving me feedback, and I just tried two different methods, although both have the same bad result... METHOD #1 (PMU RESET) 1. Press only Shift + Fn + Control 2. Connect Barrel plug to computer 3. Quickly press POWER button RESULT: fan spins full blast and LED lights...

Yes, and that keyboard sequence is on the back of the computer too. I've tried it without success multiple times. Here are high resolution photos of the component side and black side of the PMU circuit board. And while the utter lack of burned components doesn't guarantee something is bad...

Where is there a PMU "reset button" on the "PDQ"? (Mine is indeed a "Wallstreet" in that it is 2nd gen., but technically it is "PDQ"). I don't think the PDQ has such a button, but I'd long to be proven wrong about that. Which is shown in this iFix it photo... Unfortunately, that is...

It is a major limitation for people like myself who mostly have Apple keyboards, all of which (USB models) have hubs. But beyond that, none of the Windows PC keyboards we have at the office would work either, except for one LENOVO brand, which I cannot use personally because it's our office...

I found the ideal way to measure the voltage output... But I too am not getting any chime or video, and yet you say your experience differs from mine, so what in particular was different in your case? Did the LED never turn off in your case? Because my green LED lights only a couple seconds...

Here are photos of my power adapter (I have two):

I have the 2nd Gen. Wallstreet called the PDQ which has not Reset button on back. Instead PDQ owners must press Shift + Fn + Control + Power button for about 5 to 10 seconds. I've done that though, to no avail. This is the area where most people I've spoken to are not crystal clear about. No...

Thank you for providing me with feedback. Yes, I pressed the power button for a long and a short period of time, multiple times, but nothing happens. I have two different power adapters and neither work in terms of getting the machine to power on when I press the power button. But if they were...

High Resolution Top & Bottom photos of all the DC boards. Barrel Plug Board Primary DC Board with Daughtercard Attached Daughtercard

Here are photos of the insides of the Newer Technology Nupower PRAM battery (for PB G3 Wallstreet) that is now dead, and which I purchased back in the day from OWC... Here is a schematic showing how they are wired... Interestingly, the CR2330 3V button cells they used are NOT...

This video shows the two DC boards, showing how there is nothing wrong with the solder joints at the barrel plug, and showing the electrolytic capacitors on the primary (big) DC board located near the trackpad.
