    PowerBook 540c hinge restoration: SUCCESS!!!

    A1036 PSU conversion to 1400, 2400, 3400, G3 Series, Lombard, Pismo Power Supply

    I have several 45W A1036 power supplies for G4 iBooks with the 7.7mm/3.5mm round plugs that I want to convert to 9mm/3.5mm round plugs for my older PPC PowerBooks.

    SE 30 - Bad Picture - Need advice

    Hi RJC, Did you find the solution? FYI, I had a similar pattern (?”retrace lines?”) after recapping my SE’s Analog board.   As part of that process, I unsoldered and resoldered the fly back transformer.  I forgot to resolder  one pin!  When I resoldered that pin, the screen returned to...
