I'm not such an espert... can you show me which is the driver?

I have already detached the panel and cleaned both sides of the board with IPA and a brush. The only thing I noticed was some corrosion in the ribbon welds, but I don't think that could be the cause of the problem. Looking at it, the board doesn't look too bad

I mean: maybe the four capacitors I highlight in the picture are connected to the 4 flex cables that handle the corresponding 4 image bands horizontally? I am not an expert so this is just a guess. But the fact that before the recap the screen was working fine makes me suspect that the problem...

Hi everybody, the problem: I replaced the capacitors in the screen of my 180c, at first everything was fine, the screen had recovered its colours and no longer showed the typical horizontal artefacts. unfortunately after a couple of hours of work one of the four horizontal bands started to give...

Hello and thanks for the advice. A strange thing happened to my screen. As I explained, when the contrast had given problems, I swapped the screen with that of another 180c and the problem had "followed" the screen into the new computer. After a couple of days I switched on the PB180c and the...

The black "something" (that I clean away with isopropyl) was around the two resistors (are they resistors?) showed in the picture, more on the left one. I do not know how to check/test them anyway... if you do (or someone does) let me know. This is not my real board... just to show you what I'm...

I have what seems to be the exact same problem. I'm pretty sure the problem is NOT the inverter board. Why? I switched the screen (just the screen) with another 180c I own and the problem "follow" the screen not the inverter board. I also notice on THIS screen a black "something"around (I...

I'm asking someone help to install a version (italian version) of system 7.1 or 7.5.3 (7.5.5) in my PB 180 and 180c I was able to install both verisons on a disk image using Basilisk. If I boot from that image, basilisk works. My plan was to use HDI25 port to connect bluescsi + SD with that...

I do think the caps are 9 instead of 8

Thanks for the advice, I will try to bend a little the connection pins and see what happens

ok thanks for the answers. I didn't have any hope, the only thing is that it always seemed strange to me that the first time it worked well and from the second time on it didn't work anymore. We can say with a bit of imagination, that Ram and the PB180 did not fall in love.

Hi there, I got an old 10MB RAM module form my PB180, I installed it, the PB was working properly and the RAM was detected by the system. The day after I booted the 180 and... NO boot, just a strange tune: 8 note. I had to remove the ram to be able to boot again the PB180. What happens? does...
