First off, @3lectr1c has a nice overview of the stock electrolytic caps for the 180c display on his MacDAT web page here: https://www.macdat.net/repair/cap_reference/apple/powerbook/180c.html And "halkyardo" in the other forum has posted his solid tantalum recapping experience here...

Homemade buns are the best. The only downside is they come out taller than a regular burger bun at McDonald's, etc. But if you don't mind the extra bread, they're great and healthier too, in my opinion.

Thank you for the feedback. It certainly doesn’t take a minute or even close to that for the screen to “settle“ at cold boot. There is no “throbbing“ either, and the flicker you see in my video was simply my camera not being synced with the LCDs refresh rate. Later in the video, I better sync...

Perhaps @eric or you other BlueSCSIv2 PowerBook edition owners might know, but I'm curious why only one of my two drives (on the SD card) mounts when I power on the machine, despite having a good PRAM battery. I am then forced to use SCSI Probe to mount the second drive, as shown in my short...

This question is for you experts out there, and that includes @Ron's Computer Videos & @Mac84 & @techknight . Because the display is Passive Matrix, is ghosting normal, or is it showing only because the stock caps inside the display haven't been changed? You can more easily see what I mean in...

Hey, @techknight . Your video here shows a recapping list for the PowerBook 165c at time stamp 14:39. You bought YAGEO ESS106M063AE2EA to replace the seven 10uF 63V "Low Profile" caps inside the display: Height (Length): 7mm (which your video shows "just barely clears") Diameter: 6.3mm Lead...

My video here showcases his LCD Color Kit for the SE/30.

Seems a tad smaller, and the case is 3D printed too. One review on that page says it’s not the best 3D print. So doesn’t that try AliExpress product try to compete with Pico Mac Nano from 1-bit Rainbow in the UK rather than compete with Maclock?

Not sure what you mean because I bought my Maclock with the intention of using it as a clock. Can you please post a link so we can see what you are describing?

Stock CC resolution is 512x384, so it’s neat to see you can get 560x384 if you have an LC520 or 550 motherboard installed AND don’t have the 640x480 VGA mod setup on the Analog Board. Thank you very much for testing and sharing that info! QUESTION: Are the pixels still square? You may need...

This link: https://ja.aliexpress.com/item/1005010729694755.html Keep in mind that clicking it may or may not take you where you need to go because naughty AliExpress does a lot of tricky to hide things from people. I can’t tell if I’m on the right place or not if I use the AliExpress app for...

Yeah, I think we need to fix that on this forum. Everybody knows that when you shoot photos on an iPhone it saves them as an HEIC file, not JPG. And even though you can change the setting, for the most part, you want to leave at HEIC, and not make all your photos JPG. Storage space is pricey...

Thank you for the link. That leads to the small version standoff. He mentions it is only one in a series of standoffs, but I’m afraid I can’t find any of the other 3D printable standoffs from him that would be required. On the very bottom case alone you have tall and small ones like that. One...

Yes, asparagus. I shot a photo immediately after building the burger and before I completely filled my plate, which is why it looks a bit odd, but I assure you, the burger was quite good and so was the asparagus too! In the past, when I lived in the US, I had tried barbecued burgers made by...

Thank you for your kind words. But in answer to your question, I’ve never thought about 3-D printed standoffs simply because I’m not sure how they would work, and because I’m on my iPhone right now I’m unable to view your video.

I just finished watching the YouTube video linked in the opening post. I am floored. @AlexTheCat123 , your incredible work is truly groundbreaking. You know, I've always wanted to tinker with a LISA, but I never could get the EMULATOR to work. And the real thing is too big, bulky and...

BBQ'd hamburgers with homemade bun. It's been a couple years since I had last BBQd. But this is a holiday week in Japan, and I wanted to do something different for our lunch yesterday. It was nice to fire up the charcoal Weber again after so long. Here in Japan, it's very hard to find...

I just released a video showing the first 1/3rd of my STANDOFF REPAIR using J-B Weld Plastic Bonder epoxy... Neither do I. There is just too much weight inside that aging case. Sadly, there is no MacEffects plastic replacement case available (at least, not yet), so we either leave the...

I have dealt with two Cubes at the office and one personal Cube at home, all of which had issues with their FireWire Ports. In my case, all were fixed with DeOxit D5 sprayed into the FireWire connectors from the outside. I did that for the USB connections too, because one Cube had an iffy...

Probably bad documentation because I’ve only ever seen those three resistors, and all three, perpetually mentioned. This is yet another case of “you have to try it to find out.“ Meaning, remove only the two resistors, but not R67, and see what happens.
