Finally got a working CCII board for my CC and recapped the analog board for good measure. Recap went smoothly and everything was still working. Monitor had a purple tint before and after so the next step was to adjust the rear pots. I got a little ahead of myself and replaced the battery holder...

Haven't touched my Bondi G4 in 9-10 months and come to find it no longer wants to boot! No chime except after a PRAM reset, won't boot from hard drive or optical drive. I was able to partially boot an OS9 disc only once, but it gave me a memory error and hung. I've tried swapping the RAM around...

The original tray-loading iMacs had the odd feature of storing the serial number in a hidden sector of the hard drive, meaning that if you wipe/replace the hard drive and do a clean install, System Profiler won't show the serial number. You can even swap the hard drive from another tray-loader...

Finally got around to re-capping my Mac SE/30 board, after swapping the CRT from an unhappy Mac Plus and confirming signs of life. Screen came on and I could even boot off my Floppy Emu, though sadly the ADB ports appear to be dead. I knew it could use a re-cap after 30 years (at least 15 of...

I just got a Macintosh SE/30 a few days ago and want to do an LCD conversion with original hardware (none of that silly Raspberry Pi or Mac Mini board business). CRT is damaged, so perfect excuse for a fun project (hopefully I don't eat those words). I would imagine this type of mod involves...
