    Etherdock help?

    I got a ether dock that is broken. I'm pretty sure it hadn't been used in years before I got it. I tried to use it once with the floppy drive, but it gave an error and some popping sounds.

    HDI-20 Repair?

    I've got a Powerbook Duo 2300c that has a dead hard drive. I want to restore this since this is kinda easy to repair, especially since it uses 2.5 IDE instead of 2.5 SCSI, so I can just put in a cheap 2.5 IDE to CF converter and install MacOS and these Powerbook Duos are quite rare. The only...

    ADC to DVI adapter Power supply?

    I have an ADC to DVI adapter that I think is broken. It seems to cut out and glitch at random times, and the USB works (at first), then it seems to die. I've done some reading, and I saw an ifixit post where they say that every 2 years the power supplies die (post). I'm pretty sure its the...

    Hey, another PowerCD post. So, I got a PowerCD that doesn't wanna turn on.

    I got an OMP (MessagePad 100) w/o a battery plastic thing, so I tried to use a power adapter, I used a PSone power adapter (7.5a - 2a) and the screen glitched. Was it the power adapters or something else?

    iMac G3 Rev.B CD problem?

    I got an iMac G3 Rev. B and it turns out the cd drive doesn't want to work, I tried moving the laser, and it moved, but you had to put some force (I used tweezers, so I didn't touch the laser, FYI), so is there some way to grease the rails where the laser sits like a Macintosh floppy drive?
