definitely won't be using a 150 rear assembly for my 140 then, its quite sad as that is all that's wrong with it now, I have largely managed to get everything else i need (except the port door, but who needs that? :D)

I feel you, same with the G3 but I don't want to just cave in and buy an analogue board

if you are confident enough you can technically replace the caps and the IVAD cable inside, of course this needs a LOT of patience

that may have had a contributing factor to the death of my poor tangerine, though i still can't figure out if it's caps or a shorted flyback which apparently takes out the Horizontal transistor and the Power rails "apparently" I do get an unstable 24V from the connector the main logic board...

Which Imacs just out of interest? the Flat panel ones or the G3?

Thankfully i think the only computer that will be a PITA to fix is the PB due to parts scarcity, I heard somewhere you could use a Rev A Flyback in a slot

Hahaha, yeah kids where BRUTAL to the poor HP DC5850s in secondary school

As a collector of vintage macs on occasion you have a few faulty ones knocking around, Pretty much all of mine are defective, IMac, Classic II and PB140 are all defective in some way, however my Emac just refuses to die, sure the tube turns red when the Computer shed is cold, but it always...

would defo help a few folks out there for sure!

Yes good point. i may be in luck as somebody here does have an abundance of PowerBook parts laying around they are willing to sell me, the only problem i have to deal with would be the missing screws, EXTREMELY Tight hinges and of course the disastrous display cable. and my failed DIY SCSI2SD

the rear casing for the 150 is the same size as the 140 right?, i may keep this feed in mind as i too have been contemplating rebuilding an entire rear shell (because i was an idiot and threw the old one away dispute the fact it was 100% salvageable, however my problem is my lack of knowing how...

Yes I am!, how could you guess? finding the material and a printer large enough should not be a problem, it's creating the CAD file from scratch, and as I have disposed of the old rear casing (stupidly) I only have the front bezel to go off of, i have a google doc with the area measurement but...

Hello folks! long time no see... I decided to dig my dilapidated excuse of a PowerBook out of storage, and take another look at it again, of course I could continue trying to get hold of a Rear casing, but I have been pondering the idea of building one with CAD and sharing it with the...

so my Emac likely did not like the harsh British weather it went through and whenever the system is powered on the CRT takes approximately a minute to 2 minutes to light up. it starts off dim and red and then comes up to full brightness and a very sharp image. i blame the cold as it turns on...

thank you!  there is one slight worry i have and that is connecting the ribbon cable (ill use fresh 40 pin stuff from ebay) i don't want to risk frying the LCD or the GPU by connecting things incorrectly that's my only real worry. as for the  thread ill take a look! Thanks again for the help

Hello!  since i cannot locate a replacement LCD ribbon cable for my powerbook i am going to solder a floppy cable style ribbon cable to the pins on the LCD panel and on the Video board on the powerbook (i have no idea if it has a scientific name or not if people could help out that would be...

sorry for the absence again that sounds great but sadly im unable to figure out how shipping works (i have autism and haven't shipped parts yet) 

that sounds Great! however im not quite ready yet if you could keep it asside for me that would be ace

damn.... well ill have to keep a look out for one do you have an EMI shield thingy though?

its OK if the brass mounts are still in there i can gorilla epoxy them in place also im considering building my own LCD cable too
