Yeah, and that probably would require someone way smarter than me - :ROFLMAO: but it certainly within the realm of possibilities.

I'm not so sure that eBay is the arbiter of legal interpretations. I'd actually say that it is a case of unjust enrichment. The OP 1) received a benefit 2) it was at the sellers expense 3) the OP retained the benefit Yes there was an error on the sellers part, but that doesn't free the buyer...

Glad to hear! Could be a real gem.

If you need an X/ProFile (Widget Emulator) let me know as I have an extra I can sell.

Recap the video board and use a lot of Deoxit to clean the trim pots working each back and forth many times. The V-hold is common to do what yours is doing. The RIFAs in the PSU are easy as well. So recap the PSU and video board, then make adjustments and you should be good to go.

If it has "MT" Ram it probably has a bad memory chip and I would start there.

The 270c was my first laptop. What an awesome score :)

Yep, slot loading.

Hello all, I’m hoping one of you might be able to help. I’m trying to create new rubber rollers and belts for the drive but in terms of testing it’s import to have some trial and error. Does anyone know the pin out? More specifically, I’m looking for the power pins and what inputs they need...

I tested a couple of the prints personally and had major fitment issues and that was on ones they thought may be good enough. This was just over a year ago. Not a single ABS sample fit correctly enough to totally assemble. It’s possible that a high quality ABS print could sustain the weight but...

I was told in advance it probably wouldn’t be suitable for 3d printing and accepted the risk. I cannot hold them liable for the several failed prints at my request. I did the 3d prints mainly to validate my design for fitment purposes before tooling. They, and probably you, have more knowledge...

This was about a year ago and I hired a 3d print house to do analysis and do the prints. They did the ABS prints and we found that 1) the six holes on the side that mount the rear case were not precise enough while maintaining the fit for the lower left and right plastic assemblies 2) they...

To be clear, I have no objection to anyone wanting to explore for themselves. I’d be happy to offer and feedback I can, but I’ve been down this road before with 3d prints of the bezel and it ended badly. Just don’t want MacEffects associated with an inferior part. There are some applications...

For those wondering, I believe the only ABS part on the iMac G3 (as compared to polycarbonate) is this bezel. Unfortunately, as you can see, they added fire retardant (“FR”) which is the root cause of extreme brittleness. This structural bezel needed to have the rigidity of ABS as it held the...
